Pros:

I liked that the place looked nice and the staff was friendly

Cons:

No room service, no breakfast and the pool area looks bigger in pictures. Also there were a lot of stains in the rug and sofa.

A good location but would not stay at this hotel again.
Pros:

We were happy that it had a pool! & in a good location!

Cons:

Extremely long wait for service, front desk very understaffed for check in time. I had friends turned away from purchasing resort passes to join us at the pool even though the pool was empty.

Corporate greed, incarnate, that cares more about how to swindle extra money from their patrons, than they do integrity!
Pros:

I don’t know, because I didn’t have an available balance in my CC, for taxes/fees of20/day to pay for the complimentary drink voucher and other amenities (not disclosed till after the reservation was made)… I wasn’t allowed to check in! However, because I then did not cancel in time, our party for the insurance, they also still charged me for the reservation, that THEY wouldn’t allow me to check in for!
