6/10 Good

Needs a Little Love!

Great breakfast serving many people this morning and staff was working hard to please guests. EXCELLENT coffee! Only one elevator working and thus with a full house waiting a bit and crowed elevators. TV system in the rooms just beyond understanding...No instructions on how to use, where stations were...nothing printed and remote did not work as expected.
Teri, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The pool was too cold to swim in, maybe wasn’t being heated at all? Hot tub is way too small and was really dirty. The key cards stopped working all the time and we had to keep going downstairs to get them reloaded. Phone in the room didn’t work. The place was not worth it!
Kristi, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was mostly clean
Cindy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was wonderful and hotel was great. Only thing was entrance way was recently damaged due to construction vehicle, not their fault. Staff was exceptional! Very helpful even with restaurant ideas and locations. Everything was very smooth. Will most definitely be staying here again! Wanted to thank Ashton the evening desk staff! They made my night and check in after a ling day smooth and exceedingly easy!!
