Pros:

The breakfast was great and the beds were comfortable.

Cons:

The bathroom needed a deep clean. There was mold and the grout was orange. The tub and floors really needed it too. The pool was cold. My kids were shaking from being cold while being in it. The room across from 325 was so noisy and their guests knocked on our door when were all in bed already. It was a bunch of teens. They were all smoking marijuana even though we asked for a non smoking room, the smell was very strong.

Pros:

The room was nice and the staff was pleasant.

Cons:

The pool heater did not work. We asked about it and was told it was working. It was not. The water was cold. My daughter couldn't swim due to her sensory needs. I choose hotels specifically for the pool for my autistic daughter. This may not be a big deal to many but it is a huge deal to us.

It wasn’t the worst I stayed in but it could have been better.
Pros:

It was in a quiet location and clean.

Cons:

We had two rooms, one of them when we first walked into the room had a smell coming from the bathroom. The room was humid and the toilet was not secure to the floor. And only a few outlets worked. In the other room, the bed had a chip crumb and hair in it.

Pros:

I liked the location it was close to a lot of food options and stores. It was clean, and decent sized room. I had looked for weeks for a decent hotel for the price and this was it! I would definitely stay again. Nothing fancy but a clean comfortable place to stay for the night. Also LOVED the black out curtains!

Cons:

It did smell heavy of moisture like it holds alot of moisture but other than that it was fine!
