Disappointed
Pros:

Clean room, comfortable beds . Breakfast is decent

Cons:

We Could hear the neighbors snoring because the walls are so thin and could hear people taking a shower in the middle of the night .
We did not feel safe as there was never somebody at the reception desk . The person in charge seems to hide in the back room .

Pros:

The breakfast was great!

Cons:

We were a little disappointed that the indoor pool area was extremely hot and humid. As a result, we were unable to enjoy the pool and hot tub for very long.

Pros:

Staff was friendly very clean and location was great

Cons:

The ac in the unit was not working. No matter what I did it felt like stair air all evening. As the bed was very comfortable It was an uncomfortable sleep due to the air conditioner

Pros:

This was a good hotel, we aren't disappointed. Could have been cleaner in certain areas, but nothing that made me uncomfortable. Maybe clean the shower a little better. Breakfast was good, pull was nice (not sure they have cleaned around the pool area in a while), and my kids loved it. Room could have smelled better upon arrival, but maybe I'm just being picky because I picked the "best" hotel I could find in the area with most stars. It definitely cost more than the other hotels I could have picked. Also, they charged my card a hold for incidentals and I'm still waiting for it to get refunded.
