I highly recommend this hotel and would stay again
The stay for my wife and I was great. The room was nice though there were a few scrapes and wallpaper peeling off in the bathroom. The cleaning lady was nice and we got our message across, but she could not understand my plain English very well. The service at the front desk was top notch! All 4 people I talked to were exceptional in there listening and assistance with my requests. I asked if I could put unfrozen blue ice containers in a freezer for the night before I returned home so that I could use them for the trip back in my cooler. Without hesitation, Shalla put them in a freezer and I picked them up the next morning before checkout. Thank you for that! I requested a receipt be sent by email, but it has not shown up? Everything else was great! Thx again.

One of our queen beds broke as soon as ine of our kids laid on it. When we tried to move it the whole bed came apart. The hotel
Moved us to a new room but the room had a bad smell. I told the front office and they gave me a spray bottle to spray in the room myself.
No apologies were given just faces made when we told them Of our ordeal. There was smell of marijuana around the property and an around the pool area where kids and other kids were swimming.
