The hotel was nice only reason I gave a one star on the property conditions was because of the roaches we kept seeing and we had water coming through the floor from the a/c

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was quiet but friendly . Room was clean and smelled good and perfect by the wonderful pool. The pool was a highlight for sure . Only small complaint was little mold in bathroom behind the door and the bathroom door did not shut , the door was bigger than the frame so you just had to hold it shut while using the facilities . Was hopeful for waffles for the kids but it was just cereal and bagels. But it did the job

Overall it was a good stay. Pool was great. In room 169, there was a dead cockroach and the toilet doesn’t flush unless you continue to hold down the handle. Even then, it’s slow to go down if it does. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast is cereal, toast, bagels, and yogurt. To drink is coffee, orange juice and apple juice. There is Cracker Barrel and McDonalds across the street.
