Clean room, bar was stocked well, air conditioning wouldn't work quite right it was hot in our room.

8/10 Very good

Decently convenient for what we needed. Had a nice King suite. A bit outdated like the rest of the hotel. Very clean bathroom which was nice. Don’t get the chance to use or see any amenities- we were in very late and out early. Parking lot was closed off for repairs? Had to street park a ways away as the overflow lot was full and nothing else nearby. Right off the interstate. Very loud, late arriving neighbors kept me up most of the night.

The room was very clean. It probably hadn’t been used in a while as the water was rusty when we turned it on. Also, the tv had no signal which was not a big deal as we were there for a competition and really had no time for tv. The staff was incredibly nice. The room was very nice.

Our stay was great. Beds were comfortable. Only issues we had was the pool was so cold, our kids didn’t want to swim more than 15 minutes. One of our rooms didn’t have a microwave but they were adjoining so not a big deal for us.
