4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff & hotel was great. Clean and well run. We rated it poor because we got room 234, a superior king with a living room & separate bedroom. Should have been the best room in the hotel. Room was right next to the elevator. All night, and I mean all night long, we heard the opening & closing of the elevator doors and mechanics of the elevator. That room is not livable. We tried to move but hotel was oversold.

Great place to stay. Great Pool and Hot tub, However the flooring by the pool/Hot tub was very slippery. My suggestion don't use the tile that is in there but a pool side rougher material. So you do not end up with a lawsuit from someone slipping. Other than that, we really were pleased with our stay.
