The hotel staff was kind. The hotel it self was ok, but dated, however the pool area could use some improvements. The pool and hot tub worked fine, however the building houseing it could use some overall improvements. We did however have an overall good experience when we were there.

This hotel is older, but it is well maintained and clean. The one suggestion I would make is to let people know when you check in that house keeping has to be requested.
