Greetings. I *really* wanted to like this property but left disappointed. I will frankly share some of my concerns with all respect. I did not find check-in welcoming or professional. I chose the property for the pool and was informed at check in that the pool heater was broken… no apology from staffer, or any recognition of how this might impact my visit. Overall the building is clean but hall carpets deeply dirty and stained. Overall room clean but likewise carpets dirty, stained. Sheets clean but old and scratchy. Not enough blankets. Room smelled stale plus cheap cleaning product. I expected better.

When we asked for early check in, we were told they didn’t have it in a rude manner. We got there and the place smelled like pool water. Customer service wasn’t the greatest and the conversations between staff members were questionable. The room was nice, but there was water leaking from the fridge and no comforter on the bed, just a thin blanket. We asked for late checkout and they only had one for 30 minutes more. Before our time was up, room service knocked our door and was telling us we were suppose to be out of the hotel. I assume they weren’t informed, but it still was an awkward conversation.Also incidental hold was 150, which is usually more than other hotels I have been at. Overall not the greatest hotel.

We had a one night stay. The front desk lady was polite enough but in no way friendly. It seemed like we were bothering her. Our room was good, my husband and I enjoyed the separation of our room with a king bed to the living room with the sleeper sofa. Overall, the room was clean. The pool closed much earlier than we’d liked and we were not allowed to bring any type of beverage into the pool area, even water in a plastic cup.
