You pay close to $600 for two nights and then they charge you extra for Wi-Fi, parking and breakfast. And there was absolutely no water pressure in the shower.. The staff was very polite and helpful. The rooms were average and the location was great.

Need clarification on pool. It is not a heated indoor pool. The soap and shampoo were not refilled and only 2 towels for 4 people. The room looks good just to stingy on the supplies.

Decent, needs some maintenance

Room was clean, hotel was a bit confusing as there were 2 hotels in one? Hilton and Home 2. My mother’s room had a leaking toilet and my toilet had a constant dripping.

It is so loud in and around the property. I stayed 3 nights and each night there was racing with cars with blast pipes for several hours. There is no insulation from the outside noise or between rooms. My neighbors were just talking and I could not only hear them but could understand every word.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Let me just start off with saying that five stars go to the person who checked us in. She was very nice, professional, and helpful. But I cannot say the same for the room. As soon as I walked in, I tripped on a paddle off water, right outside the bathroom, causing a nasty bruise to my arm. There was also water around the toilet. Shower was not clean. There was a yellow urine like stain in the corner and some hair. Room had a mildew smell. There was also a random scrunched up pillowcase on the nightstand. I will usually ask for another room, but since we were there for only one night and it was already very late, we decided not to. At checkout, I informed the person at the front desk about the situation. She did say sorry but that was it. Nothing resembling official. Not that I’m looking for handouts, but something should be offer the reconciliation. In regards to parking, I had to make my own spot. We did arrive late, but while looking for a parking space, I did notice a people parking there and walking to town. There were many cars without parking permit which all hotel patterns receive to park.
