This is an older hotel that looks to be up dating as they go. We ordered a king room. Unfortunately, when we got in the room there was a leak coming from the ceiling into our bathroom. We informed the front desk, and he gave us the king suite room. That was wonderful and if we stay again, we would love to have that room. It's very spacious. Two couches and the bedroom was separate great for couple with an early riser. We also enjoyed the pool it was very large and clean. Were a little bummed the hot tub was broken but stuff happens.

The drunks outside the front door being loud and obnoxious. Dark parking lot. Rude management. Our room was filthy. They had no other rooms to put us in so ultimately we had to leave. And she kept all of our money. It's been a week now and I nor Expedia has had any luck with our refund
