Jonathan, Feb 2019

Pros. It was conscientious to get to and the indoor pool kept my son and his friend occupied. Not a bad place for a quick stop over.

Cons. It was just a little dated, nothing specifically bad.

Pros. Location

Cons. The room was dirty when we arrived. It had been cleaned but not well. We never received cleaning service. When I called to the front desk they said housekeeping had left for the day. It was approximately 5:00 PM. They said they would send someone with fresh towels. When we returned at 9:00PM there were no towels left. We had to go to the front desk to pick some up. The service in the restaurant was terrible. One waitperson and they couldn't keep up. We waited 20 minutes for menus. Day two was better in terms of service but the waitress decided that the yogurt I ordered should be embellished with blueberries. I am allergic to blueberries. Had to send it back.
