My son forgot his phone in the room and the man at the front desk yelled at him and on a previous stay he didn’t want to sell me any snacks but did sell them to my husband 20 minutes later. Everyone else except this man is great but because of him we will not be back and have cancelled future reservations. We had no air conditioning and no other room available for myself and my kids.

Hotel was nice and clean; the staff was friendly. My only complaint... I've stayed at a lot of hotels this was the only time I have heard people staying on the floor above me stomping while I was trying to sleep. I saw a sign that they were doing renovations, but one of the staff members told me renovations were done.
