Everything was very clean, the staff was pleasant and the pool is open till midnight! We didn’t get in till 10:00 pm so we were pretty happy about that! The snack options at the front desk were great. We got to breakfast a little later and there was plants of fresh food and it looked like we were the first ones there, it was so clean! Great visit!!

Weekend Stay
Overall a nice stay. My family enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Breakfast both days was great and breakfast attendant did an excellent job of keeping things stocked & fresh. Felt things could have been a bit cleaner, especially the elevator (that was also extremely slow).

Staff was friendly and efficient, property and room were clean. My only complaint is that the breakfast was awful. At this price point, you would expect food that is edible. The eggs were dry, overcooked pebbles and the sausage could be best described as salty foam disks. Plan on adding the cost of breakfast at McDonald's to your trip budget as I would consider McDonald's gourmet compared to the breakfast offered here. I would be less disappointed with my stay had "free" breakfast not be included in the price.

We'll be back, but not for breakfast.
Very nice rooms, super comfy beds and fun modern touches to the room. Pool was too cool for me but the hot tub felt great. The breakfast...that was set up nicely however the pancake machine did not work properly the only option for yogurt was Greek, bread was out, only option for egg was a cheese omelette I would have much preferred simple scrambled eggs and left the cheese out of the equation. And the coffee ran out faster than it was refilled. So the breakfast definitely needed some help but all in all it was a great place for the money. We'll be back, but not for breakfast.
