Very good

The service was excellent and attentive. The breakfast was delicious and served with a smile. The staff was accommodating when we needed a place to meet. The elevators were quick, and the room was clean. The walking paths to the west of the hotel were great for a morning walk. I would stay here again.

We went there for a relaxing pool vacation and was not informed when booking or upon check-in that the pool was under construction. When speaking with the front desk…which I think may have been the manager…her was response was that’s unfortunate!!!
This property was convenient for us and all the staff were very polite and good except housekeeping. Our room each day was not cleaned properly and we had to consistently call down to get items that they forgot to put in the room - bath mat, shampoo, soap, glasses. Kitchen counter wasn’t cleaned, microwave wasn’t plugged in because cord was too short and safe was never opened even though we called to have it done.
Day 1, cleaned the room, but did not replace the towels, bathtub drain very slow, sink drain slow, shower fixture needs replacement. Day 2, did not clean the room or replace towels. Coffee maker pitiful, went down all 3 days to the restaurant for coffee.
There were a number of problems w/this room:
1. Our rooms was never made up
2. At one point, there was no water.
3.
The breakfast was terrible. They did have an egg making section, but it was crowded and almost imposslble to use. The scrambled eggs on the buffet were inedible
Definitely appreciated the van to the park.
