I stay at this hotel about once a month. This month I was in a handicap room and it was not very comfortable. The bed was not like the other beds I have had at this hotel. Plus no creamer for the coffee and the body lotion container did not work. Usually I give this hotel a big thumbs up.

Our front desk clerk at check in was amazing so friendly and welcoming, our room was nice very comfortable bed and pillows. Pool was warm not very big and no hot tub which was disappointing. Breakfast was amazing food was hot and soo many options but the breakfast staff was not friendly at all didnt smile nothing and the front desk check-out clerk was not friendly either. Very disappointing after such a welcoming staff at check in.
