It was ok
Pros:

Covenant,

Cons:

The air conditioning would not shut down it was freezing in our room. Was disappointed with the spa would not turn on. We called the front desk and they told us there was no one there to help us get it turned on. No vending machines you could not get anything after 10 pm. Also there should be a couple of chairs in laundry room you have to sit on the floor to wait for your clothes

Pros:

Breakfast was good. Cleanliness is top notch.

Cons:

No air conditioning made the stay almost miserable, considering that the room was very warm.

Pros:

I like it had breakfast, a nice swimming pool, hot tub and it was in a very convenient location

Cons:

The hot tub wasn't hot, the room was very hot and we couldn't get it cool in there, we turned on the AC but it clearly wasn't working, the water pressure in the shower was very low so we had a hard time washing our hair and getting shampoo and conditioner out.
