Don't need to say much more than I found literal bedbugs in my bed in the morning. The room was humid, the carpets were damp, the sheets were damp. Upon waking, I found and put THREE separate bedbugs in a bag. Staff was helpful and professional, grounds were great....but....bedbugs.

Our 4 yo found an empty beer can behind the sofa, and I got a horrible allergy as soon as I stepped foot in the room, the carpet felt sticky as well. We've stayed at this hotel multiple times ans this is the first time my allergies acted up so bad.

Here’s a shorter version that fits well within typical Expedia word limits: Great location, decent stay Overall a good stay. The hotel is in a great location near restaurants and attractions. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. Check-in was slow due to limited staff, and the carpet could use a deep clean. Bathroom was smaller than expected, but the atmosphere was welcoming. I’d stay again with a few improvements.

Good Overnight stay

Stayed overnight and unfortunately had a poor room location. Room 7104 is right near the door to the outdoor pool and it was opening and slamming closed allllll night long and the sound resonated in the room. Tough night of sleep! AC was on 62 when I checked in. Brrrr Room was clean, bed is comfortable, buffet breakfast is good! I will say that the staff are always sooooo nice! They say hello and are pleasant! I will continue to stay here as it is soooo convenient and the price is great!
