The staff was absolutely amazing. They were very carrying compassionate. They were always greeting me,and always on top of everything I needed. They went above and beyond every time and under the circumstances, I wasn’t there for vacation. I was there to take my granddaughter home from the hospital because she Has cancer and she is terminal she’s only one years old. They generally cared and took time to make sure that everything I needed they got for me and again they were so understanding and compassionate wonderful place. I’ll never forget the kindness that they showed me. oh, and also the restaurant staff was actually amazing too. Thank you again. I meant the world to me to have a safe comfortable place to stay during this time

Nice basic hotel for a 3 star. The entrance and lobby are refreshingly modern and the champagne welcome is a lovely amenity. However, the room furniture and bathroom could be greatly improved. The $75 pet fee is a bit steep for one night - compared to $20/night at other 3 star hotels. Parking was very challenging due to a football game but we made it work.

I requested and paid for a room with a balcony and when I arrived I was sent to a room with no balcony. I was counting on that balcony and is the reason I booked that hotel

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Paid around $250/night just to crash for one singular night after a friend’s wedding. Absurd of a price enough as it is (especially because there was no continental breakfast) but it was also disgusting. I felt so wildly uncomfortable. I went to heat up a mac & cheese cup for a late night snack and was APPALLED to see (and smell) and plate of extremely moldy pizza rotting in said microwave. This type of mold does not happen after a couple of days. The amount of mold accumulated happens after weeks. The smell made me gag and lingered in my room the rest of the night. Before heading down to the lobby to search for a different microwave I spotted something crinkled up on the floor of my room. Upon further inspection I saw that it was a dirty, USED women’s panty liner. When I went to the lobby I very kindly made the lady aware of these things and asked her to make sure I would not get charged a cleaning fee for this. She apologized and that was it. I tried to relax and unwind in bed but found myself wondering what other cleaning may have been overlooked and felt uneasy. The next morning I stopped at the front desk again and spoke to a different lady to once again make sure I wouldn’t get charged and to make her aware of these things. She apologized and said it was unacceptable. I left the hotel frustrated that I was never offered a new room or a partial refund or even a voucher of any sort. I kind of wish I had just slept in my car and saved $250.

We really enjoyed the enormous pool! We stayed in the executive suites area but our room was small. I am not sure why they are called executive. Our room was the size of any regular hotel room and smaller. Staff were great and accommodating.

Very meh. Stayed there once before and was put in a room with no natural sunlight. The window looked into a hallway leading to a pool and there were ugly fluorescent lights. That was 4 years ago. Chlorine smell in hotel Stayed again in 10/24. Smell a bit better but dirt in corners of bathroom and toilet ran constantly all night long. Won’t stay there again. Like the area and the common areas and location but don’t love the rooms
