It’s a nice spot to stay. We had a problem with our room and they were quick to switch us and resolve our problems. Only thing is the hot tub was broken and that is the only reason I booked this hotel. One of the late night staff gave my friend attitude when he asked if they possibly had paper plates but the daytime and evening staff were awesome. I didn’t catch his name but a younger gentleman with darker hair helped us a lot and is the reason why we stayed even when our room had problems.

Check in was fast no wait but hit a snag as the first room we were given was not cleaned. Beds were unmade trash not removed so housekeeping had not cleaned that room. Called front desk and they put us in another room. Other room was cleaned beds made but bathroom had invaded wall paint in the bathroom coming off and also in the second room we had in the family suite. Bathroom was missing a light bulb and only one tv remote for two TVs that the room had. It was only a one night stay but don’t think we would stay again as it seems that the property needs some updating and possibly better customer service as the front desk clerk was very short and responded to questions as if checking in was inconvenience to him.

Right off the bat the guy who checked me in was really dismissive. Seemed annoyed I was checking in and gave no details about my room location. When I got to my room it was the farthest room away in the highest floor even though the entire hotel seemed almost completely vacant. I booked cuz there was a hot rub but went to find out it isn’t working. There is coffee in the closet but no coffee maker. And there are blood-like stains on the wall.
