The pool area was closed for remodeling, and we basically stayed in the place because we wanted to have a swim for the day. The bed was very comfortable and the AC worked wonders. Only problem was that the shower was dirty, there was hair and the floor was not cleaned well. It smelled like it was cleaned, but not professionally.

Room was clean and quiet. Unfortunately, they did not clean the room the next day. One of the amenities states laundry onsite however that is not the case.

The pool was closed! Sporadic housekeeping. They’d changed us $1.50 per night for an in room safe. But, the safe did not work. I was told I would receive a refund, but I didn’t. Nice staff.
