Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was my second time here and i enjoyed it as i did the last time. I find the staff very friendly and helpful and the overall amenities for the price point very good. I especially enjoy the gym which is probably one of the best hotel gyms i've experienced. I also apprecaite the hotel decoration for the holidays. The only critique i would give is that while fully functinonal and comfortable, the rooms could use a revitalized or updated style to keep in league with other hotels on the same price point. Overall i was very pleased with my stay and look forward to my next visit there.

Good location. Service at the pool is the worst. The servers only serve the girls they find hot. They also play super loud music with nasty lyrics and they forget that there’s kids there listening to those songs. Our bathroom was also poorly cleaned and the shower was full of grime.
