The property was generally nice. Bed, hot water in shower and quite location were the positives. You get cookies when you check in but are charged $3 for a bottle of water. The hot tub was broken my entire stay ( one of the top reasons I choose this location over others with free breakfast). Cost was to high for what you receive. Lobby was always hot (restaurant and bar also hot).

Air conditioner was broken in my room. There where gnats in the room. The separate bedroom that had bunkbeds smelled like a kid peed in the corner, and the elevator was broken to the parking lot, which made it very difficult to carry my luggage.

Meh, could have been cleaner.
This property doesn't offer free breakfast, but does offer a very expensive version of the free breakfast you get at any best Western or other hotel offering free breakfast. Even a coffee was $3 and $22 for adult and $13 for kids. But again, just a low quality breakfast buffet. It's run down and we didn't even get a cleaning for stay over, so trash and such wasn't taken out. Had to ask for cups etc since they don't clean between days. The pool was nice, the beds were comfy. Parking costly and a VERY TIGHT SQUEEZE. It was the worst, but I won't go back.

I was a little bummed that the Jacuzzi was closed and we had to switch room because our room smelled like smoke. So our second view wasn’t as nice as the first, but overall the beds were comfortable, and the staff is nice.

It’s a good spot if you are on a budget and are looking for something still nice. The biggest inconvenience is the parking. My partner has a pickup truck and he was not able to park in the structure because it’s so tight. They do have oversized parking but its limited. However they let us park on a red curb like spot after my partner explained the parking issue. We were able to do this during our whole stay so we appreciate they accommodated us in that aspect. Welcome cookie is good!! Staff is nice and it smells nice when you walk in the lobby. The hotel bathroom had a few woman hairs and there was a bit of dust on the lamps but it was fine nothing crazy like the other reviews. Probably wouldn’t come back though.

First I booked a regular room and got a wheelchair accessible room. I called and they said my 3rd party booked that and to call them. My 3rd party called and they still did not compensate me. My restroom floor had dirt spots like the didn’t and don’t mop the floor. I took a Clorox wipe and it came up so it was stiff tracked on the floor and they don’t clean the floor properly. The white towels are dingy with concerning stains. I wiped down my room when I arrived but housekeeping came and wiped behind me the next day and left a trail of filth. I think they’re using the same towels to clean different rooms because there was stringy hair left all over my sink and on the restroom floor. My hair is a kinky curly, I didn’t have extensions so who blonde stringy hair all over my room? Never again!
