Great location! The 2 bathrooms and 2 king beds along with the kitchenette were extremely comfortable, convient, and just perfect for us. All the staff that we encountered were kind, friendly, professional, and helpful.

I was old and musty. The room smelled stale and almost like maybe mold? The beds weren’t amazing and the pillows were so small they were a square.

It clean and comfortable enough. The pool & jacuzzi in great condition. The staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfast needed some improvements. There was a yogurt machine that wasn’t working & the orange juice wasn’t working.

The room was clean but I had to ask multiple times for toilet paper and towels (on our day of check in). Front desk staff was very kind and helpful but there was a disconnect between the front desk staff and the housekeeping staff.

8/10

We really like the location, the room was great , the swimming pool and jacuzzi were great also , I've really enjoyed the gym and the staff was very friendly but the only thing that was very disappointing was the breakfast :( , the machine that dispensed orange juice was broken , coffee was good and eggs tasted somewhat real eggs but everything else was very basic and no pancakes or waffles , so if your intentions are to enjoyed a very basic and cheap breakfast then this is your place otherwise don't stress about it and enjoy everything else like the pool , jacuzzi and the gym and go somewhere else for breakfast unless you're on a budget so this should be ok for you .

It was a nice clean room. But there was no house keeping. We had go to the office for toilet paper/towels
3-night trip

8/10

For the most part our stay was really good but 1 of the rooms had a very disgusting smell. It honestly smelled like dirty carpet with pet urine soaked in it. I know the hotel allowed pets so it could have been that from previous guests. Also the rooms closest to the highway were really annoying when motorcycles would speed by at 3am.

2/10

The breakfast experience is horrible. The breakfast closes at 9am. They will start removing the things starting 8:30am. By 8:50am most of the breakfast and accessories are packed up and told that your table needs to be emptied by 9am to start mopping. I stayed for 2 days and had the same experience on both days. Elevators are so old that no buttons (inside and floor level) will turn on. You just have to trust that it will work.
