Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel is serviceable. We had very little cell service and the WiFi was spotty at best. The pool was clean and the poolside bar was a nice addition. The hotel needs a major renovation. It’s a good place to rest but not somewhere that I would hang out.

The indoor pool did not look clean. The outdoor pool looked very clean. The ice machines did not appear to be clean and we wouldn’t use them. Overall, it was okay, but expensive for what we had. I wouldn’t necessarily use them again.
