Hard to find where the front desk was. Elevator did not work. Desk person wasn’t always at the desk. Room was not ready at check in time. Issue with keys. Not enough towels. Staff were very accommodating. No local tv, just streaming programs. Left a day earlier than I paid for. Don't think I’ll be back.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
There was a gaping hole in our bathroom where the fan should be. The light stopped working in the bathroom while showering so I had to open the door causing steam to set off the fire alarm at 7 in the morning. When I contacted the staff to let them know, they told me to turn on the light on my phone and close the door while I finish showering. The pool in the middle is great in theory until you get a bunch of drunk people echoing down there. Was the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. I wasn’t going to leave a bad review, but after I emailed management after our stay and got no response I figure they deserve it.
