Staff was friendly, clean pool/hot tub and clean room. Website has check in at 3:00pm, my Expedia room confirmation also had 3;00pm, but when we got there they told us it's 4:00pm. So we paid $40 for "early" check in.

Staff were courageous and professional. What I didn’t like that a window blind a panel was missing, we had to cover with a towel. Cleaning staff need to improve on cleanliness, there was a stain on the bathroom wall by the toilet and the computer chair was filthy.

Walls were paper thin. Upstairs sounded like they were rearranging furniture until 230am. The outlets didn’t work so I couldn’t charge my phone. Hot water in the shower didn’t work and it took them a while to get it working.

Need to keep the room up to date

The hotel location is great but the evening check-in guy needs to have welcome greeting smiling he just has straight up answer. We were given a room and it didn’t have any soap, shampoo or conditioner for shower; soap,container was missing, window has blinds missing if someone is changing clothes or sleeping people could pick from outside. We have kids and young daughter. We had to put a towel over it when I went to tell them they didn’t even change the room for us.

Blinds missing people can peek through your room

No shampoo no conditioner and the whole soap conditioner was missing

Looks like no one changed the sheet luckily I brought my own.

Very nice value for the money, a little older but they clearly made some good efforts to modernize the decor. Could be cleaned better-tidy but found used floss and soap ring in the bathroom.
