Surprisingly disappointed.
Cons:

The room I booked was given away even though I called the property several weeks ahead of time, as well as nine in the morning the day of of arrival and then again when we arrived at 11 am and the room was not ready. We informed the staff at that time that we would be returning late, but when we returned, we found out our room had been given away. Extremely disappointing, although the manager was polite and apologetic and said he would arrange a refund….still waiting for word on that.

I would definitely come back here again. The room was beautiful and clean.
Pros:

Hotel was super clean organized and day/swing shift staff was very friendly. Made it very comfortable.

Cons:

I think that grave shift can be a little bit more greeting and more friendly so that way if we had questions, they could be more informative.
