Underwhelming
Pros:

My less than perfect rating comes for two (2) main reasons. The first, my room smelled strong of marijuana from someone nearby consuming the drug late into the night and in the early morning. Second, one of the toiletry items I needed in the restroom was completely empty. And as a final note, the shower drain was about half plugged up.

Pros:

If yout property doesn't have a pool or hot tub please take it off your website. So rude. My original room smelled like mildew so bad I immediately went to ask for a new one. Switched with no problem. After those two issues it was a pleasant stay. Breakfast is great, beds are comfy and good sized rooms

Would not recommend
Pros:

I was very disappointed with my recent stay at this hotel. The main reason I booked here was for the indoor pool to help with my osteoarthritis after a long trip. When we arrived, we found out the pool was closed until further notice. That alone was frustrating since the pool was a deciding factor in choosing this property.

We had even called the day before check-in to ask if we could arrive a day early. We were told it would not be a problem, but when we got there, staff had no record of it and no clue we were coming. The one positive was that the front desk lady made up for it by giving us our room at no extra charge for that night — the only good part of our stay.

On top of that, the TV setup was unnecessarily complicated, requiring two remotes, and it constantly froze, making it impossible to even view the guide. The housekeeper disrupted our rest several times by loudly laughing and screaming in the hallway during the day. At one point, I was so alarmed by the noise that I thought someone might be hurt and felt the need to get up and check. This was extremely inconsiderate, especially since we were trying to nap due to pain and exhaustion from traveling.

The breakfast buffet, which supposedly starts at 6am, was nearly picked over by 7am. What little was left was stale and of poor quality, so we ended up eating elsewhere.

Pros:

Would like to see a better breakfast food. The cinnamon rolls didn’t taste like cinnamon rolls. They were blah. The the eggs look like rubber, and there was no biscuits for the gravy and their muffins wasn’t good at all so I would like to see a better menu other than that the place was awesome
