There is construction surrounding the property and it was difficult to find the entrance. Construction noise started at 7am so be aware of that if you intend to sleep in. We were up and out early so wasn’t an issue for us. Otherwise it was very good and convenient to stores etc.

Room was clean but not cleaned between days staying. No additional towels brought in. The pool area paint peeling up from floor. Unable to bring drinks in pool area. Only had cookies out once during our stay was told they would be out at all times. If go again will definitely ask for a fist floor room as husband is disabled and had to go to fourth floor. Breakfast was excellent each day.

While the staff was super helpful and kind, the hotel property itself needs a major upgrade. The lobby area stinks like chlorine from the indoor, there was mold in and around the vents in the hallway outside our room and the rooms definitely need to be updated. (Carpeted flooring). Considering it cost over $200 per night to stay, I think it definitely needs a facelift or it’s worth choosing another, more modern option.

Our room was very clean. All the staff were friendly and we received excellent customer service. Breakfast was excellent. The woman in charge of the breakfast was fantastic and she did an excellent job, very very friendly and made sure everyone had enough food and drinks. She deserves a BIG raise for all she did keeping up with the food, she was amazing and so friendly. The coffee was really good and always hot and fresh!!!! If we had one complaint it wound better pillows, they had no support at all. We would highly recommend this hotel and we will diffidently be back. The staff treated everyone as one big family, which was so awesome.
