Vickie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

very nice place to stay

The staff was friendly, the lobby look beautiful, the water at the swimming pool was very cold, I like the breakfast, room was clean, nice bed, maybe curtains that will close all the way to keep the room a little more dark.

Nice hotel

Every member of staff we encountered was very friendly. Everything was clean and comfortable. The paint showed a little wear in places and the a/c was a little noisy, but overall, a good hotel, especially for the price and location.

10/10 Exceptional

I felt safe, the complimentary breakfast was great. Staff was nice. The snacks available for purchase weren’t vast and were expensive, but overall I would certainly come back.
Tiffany, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was one of the better experiences I've had at hotels. Not sure why exactly but floors turned the bottom of your feet black despite the many times I've seen hotel staff using mop. Soda/Snack machines did not work. Couldn't really enjoy the indoor pool due to other children left unsupervised and constantly jumping/diving in pool.
LEANNA, 2-night trip

6/10 Good
