The website and the phone number I called both told me that they had a pool and that’s why we went with this hotel we get there and the pool was closed so we did not stay the second day, it’s been over 10 business days, and I still have not received my refund back from the second day

Check in associate was not friendly or welcoming. Felt like we were bothering her. Accomplished the goal, we did check in. The room is basic. No extra towels or pillows. Didn’t ask front desk for more because the associate was not friendly at check in.

The space in the rooms was comfortable. But the whole reason for the trip was for the pool and hot tub. Sadly the entire three days we stayed it wasn't open. Very disappointing birthday. Lots of other things were broken as well.
