The room was on third floor with view of parking lot and industrisl area. Was noisy. Seemed like bottom of line rooms saved for hotel.com patrons.

3-night trip

10/10

It was pretty good, I love the new simple Amenities they offer such as morning coffee and s’more’s for the kids. I wish they brought back the free little skate boards. I also like the little games they added to the lobby and on the pool side. Definitely love the new vibe they brought to the place.

This was a great trip! Morning coffee was great. My daughter and her friend thoroughly enjoyed the pool. Our room was comfortable and clean. My only heads up is the toilet - it was the loudest flushing toilet I've ever heard! I could hear other toilets flushing too.

Very cool hotel - ambiance was really neat - very well done. Also, and I didn’t mean to do this, but I walked into the dining area hungry at 8:46 when the kitchen was closing at 9:00 and they still managed to quickly accommodate me, which I really appreciated.

It was our second time visit there. Last time it was very nice. This time one night, there were people outside talking so loud around 11:30. But overall the stay was good.

It’s nice place and the pool areas is great.

2-night trip

Have stayed here many times does not seem as “elegant” as in the past. Rooms are showing their age, hot tub jets were weak or non- existent, the complimentary robes are, other little things. The lobby, restaurant and staff are still fantastic.
