Rug in room was quite dirty which made everything feel dirty. We checked in late, so we did not look for another hotel. We had to wait for a staff come back from a room issue to check in. We checked out the following morning.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was ok. It’s kind of worn down and not very clean. There were stains all over our room and the pool area didn’t look like it was kept up very well, it felt very unclean in that area with hair and other objects all over the ground. For the price I guess I understand but they could definitely do better with housekeeping and maintenance.

Liked: Staff & service
Room had a slight “Smokey” smell to it. The staff was absolutely amazing and so very helpful. The breakfast had quite a few hot options but not many cold options or child friendly. The pool area is why we come BUT it needed to be cleaned! I picked up and threw away a couple bandaids and there was quite a bit of hair all over on the edges of pools….its a shame that the people who the bandaids came off of don’t take care of them or also the hair….but staff should clean up that stuff as well as they see it. The pool water I felt needs to be slightly warmer cuz wow it was pretty cold and took a bit to get used to. So many ppl were sitting in hot tub for that reason. I don’t let my younger kids sit in hot tub- only dip their feet.
