Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Rooms were clean. Bathroom in severe need of repair. Poor water pressure very slow drains heater sounded as if it was gonna fly off the wall. Hot tub out of service was told it’s nothing but a money pit pool was closed continental breakfast was horrific! Was able to sleep and use toilet that about the extent of it! The attached bar was good. The two bartenders were nice people and treated us well. I would not recommend this hotel unless it’s the last resort.
