Convenient to everything. The only issue I had was in the gym. Some guy came in the gym to work out and brough his 4 years old daughter who had to touch everything, including me.
We had a great stay during our son’s baseball tournament.
The hotel smells clean, looks clean and the staff is very friendly. Our beds were comfortable. The rooms were spacious. Breakfast was very good.
Definitely will stay here again.
The room was really nice and clean. The breakfast was good and hot with many options. They also had vegan breakfast options. The front desk clerk was very personable. I really enjoyed my stay. It was a great stay.
Nice rooms with brand new beds slept comfortably.
Decent breakfast. Our stay for two nights was pretty good .

One of our queen beds broke as soon as ine of our kids laid on it. When we tried to move it the whole bed came apart. The hotel
Moved us to a new room but the room had a bad smell. I told the front office and they gave me a spray bottle to spray in the room myself.
No apologies were given just faces made when we told them Of our ordeal. There was smell of marijuana around the property and an around the pool area where kids and other kids were swimming.
