The bed was very uncomfortable. It was just too hard, and my lower back paid for it the next day.Clean but lighting is also very dim in the room. Felt it was overpriced for the presentation.

Noticed stale smell when checked in. Left the room for dinner, returned, and when unpacking noticed black stuff on AC vent, which appears to be mold(?). Stain on ceiling appears to be the same. Staff says hotel totally booked tonight and can’t offer alternate room. Will request compensation.

For the rates charged this was by far one of the worst places ive stayed & i travel alot & have stayed in some questionable places. The sewer gas smell is horrible. The cold water faucet for the hot tub literally came off, hot tub didnt work anyway so didnt matter. Pillowcases & sheets were dirty. Unless this is last resort i wouldnt recommend.

The air conditioning was very terrible in our room. But they switched us to another room on our second night. Which was much better.

It was good as usual. Not outstanding but fair for the price paid. Breakfast had limited offerings, very few cereal choices, just high calorie ones. Better than Super 8 but not as good as Fairfield and others.
Staff was helpful. Pool was nice.

Needs serious updating. Furniture, rugs old, worn and stained. Generally clean and staff were friendly, but the place itself wasn't worth the money w were charged.
