Hotel under renovation
Hotel is under renovation. Our room’s bathroom shower had broken fixtures on top of it being a handicap room. Shower was mildewed pretty bad and leaked unless you closed off the tap with all your strength. I called the front desk and was offered a different room but not a suite or only queen beds. I would pick a newer property if possible until they get this one fixed

It was a good set with the small kitchenette. We liked how the tv moved so you could watch it from the couch or the bed. I have never been to a hotel with more than 3 floors and have only 1 elevator!!

We had a one bedroom suite. Everything was very nice. About the 3rd day, we started seeing small flies and wasps around our inside window. They came up each time we called and killed them. They also gave us a bug zapper. We assumed they were coming in from the A/C vent. Other than that, it was a nice stay.

The room was very nice overall. The price I thought was justified because they had an indoor waterpark. It turned out that the waterpark was not an included amenity but was an additional unexpected expense. The breakfast hours are kind of shortened compared to other hotels as well : ( 6:30a to 9a

Love how clean the property is and the location. Now the bad. We reserved and paid for a certain square footage of room as advertised on Expedia. We did not receive that size of room for which we had paid extra for. Hotel management blames 3rd party sites that they don't see what we are shown and to take it up with Expedia. So we had to take less than what we paid for which is disappointing.
