"I want to first highlight a gentleman by the name Donald; He was the nicest guy there., we arrived on Sunday. and the pools ware closed. now mind you it was after Labor Day weekend, but the main reason why I picked this place was because it showed on the website that the pool was still open outdoor and indoor. i went to the front desk the next day to ask why the pools weren't open the gentleman wasn't there. there were two ladies and the older one was extremely rude. I went back the next day to see if there was another person and I found Donald :) i mention to him the pool situation and he said I am so sorry about this yes, a lot of people that just got here have been having concerts about it. I will let the manager know. long story short he took care of it. we had a great time in the outdoor pool & indoor in the afternoon. it was a very nice place for my family, and I will definitely book my stay again next year. hoping that they will keep the pool open again. :)"

"The hotel had been renovated recently but the room I was in had not been updated. The bathroom had a very old sink and toilet and the towel holder was rusty. The bed was comfortable, the air conditioner worked, and there was a mini-fridge. The lobby area was clean and the staff was very friendly. There is an extra fee to pay for their parking lot and it's a little difficult to navigate the lot but as parking in the area is very limited, it's necessary to deal with."
