Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Everything (Front desk, polite staff, lobby cleaness) was good until we got into our room. when we opened up the fridge we found a cup of coffee. Not sure how long it's been in fhere. The good thing was the room was clean and tidy. One more thing the shower curtain was too close to the tub. It made the shower area felt smaller. It could have been roomier if the shower rod was moved about 2 - 3 inches away from the bath tub.

Check in was fast. I stood at the reception area for awhile before being helped by a heavy set lady at check in. She was not personable or approachable but rather more dismissive almost like you’re being an inconvenience to her. Never made eye contact with me. Asked her if the pool was heated she said yes, even though it was not…I also asked her if there were towels available she said there should be, and throughout this whole interaction with her there was no acknowledgment or eye contact from this lady. When we got to the pool there were no towels available like she said there was. Had to go back to the front desk to request for some. Our first room reeked of something very foul and disturbing. Called the front desk/guest services for another room which a gentleman in the front was able to accommodate with no issues. He was very friendly and accommodating. The second room had a similar smell I’m guessing because it was on the same floor and may have been just a plumbing issue. Overall our stay wasn’t terrible but not the greatest either and the hotel itself is very outdated even the elevators were struggling at every use.
