    Facility looked newer in the app than it did in person but was still pleased with the room; television could be a little bigger and newer for HD visuals, the quiet atmosphere in the hotel makes up for that, thank you for a pleasant stay!

    Bed, pool and hot tub were great

    The hot-tub didn’t work… cold. I feel for paying all that money you should have access to that. I was locked out of my room and nobody was at the front desk for a good 10 to 15 mins. There were several lights that didn’t work in my room. I had a wake-call scheduled and nobody called. The bed was comfortable though. When I was checking the lady was on a call and on speaker phone. She was talking to them while checking me in. So no real customer service.

    Location.

    Feel like I was mislead about my room size. Not a terrible stay.

    • Stayed 1 night

    Their website advertised an executive suite with only 7 photos. I was pleased with these photos and paid extra to book the suite. Upon check-in, I discovered my suite was much smaller than the advertised photos. I spoke to the front desk, who was polite, and was told they have 3 executive suites. All various sizes. As the advertised suite was occupied, I had no choice but to keep the smaller suite. It was difficult to socialize in the small space, which would've been the same as a normal room and a lot cheaper.

    Cool facility in the lobby and pool areas. It's close to the movies and bars/restaurants.

    This time the room was smelly, the ac hardly worked and the tv/remote didn’t work. Went to the front desk about it, they sent someone down and he basically said yeah they don’t go together and left, so we weren’t to happy about the room this time!

    It’s always clean

    Our first room smelled of smoke and my sons first room the toilet wasn't seated properly. We were immediately given new rooms.

    The pool and hot tubs were fantastic! My grandkids were thrilled. It's five minutes from the college my grandson was attending so the location was perfect. Had dinner at a nearby barbecue restaurant that was fabulous.

    The smell in the room (old and not clean), the rooms needed deep cleaning at least once a month, dust almost everywhere, at least bathroom was decent cleaned. The other sad part was the pool, it seemed like water was from a pond.

    I liked the location, customer service friendly, room sizes were fine., I guess price was fit for this location (at least a place to sleep).

    The recliner in the room looked like it was pulled out of the dumpster. I took a picture of the tore arm. The shower floor was slippery, some one sanded the floor.

    There seemed to be a mix up with the payment and they hadn’t charged us for the stay. Then booking.com blew my phone up until I answered. I work in a job where I am not able to be on my phone much and I was called back to back to back to back until I answered. It was ridiculous. They called everyday since they realized the mistake and told me to contact the people there and that they were going to leave it up to us but they still called multiple times.

    The room was nice and the hot tub was awesome. We really liked that. The beds were also comfortable. We both had a nice stay in the room while we were there. The place was very comforting and relaxing.
