My gripe is more with Expedia than the hotel. My friend and I booked at the same exact time to make sure we both got a room. Her room was $203 mine $225 for exact same room. I would appreciate a refund for the difference as there is no reason for this arbitrary rate differential. Thank you, Barbara Eisenberg

The pool was nice, it was obviously very nice at one time, but they're working on it. The room was clean. I booked a room stating it had a spa tub in the bathroom and that was not the case. I also had to ask the staff about the air conditioning due to the fact that there was a thermostat in the room that didn't work, however they did have a separate AC in the room that I had not noticed.
