None. I think that if you have a inside pool you should be able to get in. Even the hot tub.

Don't make this your first choice

Pros: Convience for meeting
Cons: Customer Service
Location: Wasn't able to experience that
Well booked my room through Travelocity, confirmed room reservation twice. Travelocity' also confirmed reservations. Day 2 they told me they no longer showed us having a reservation and kicked us out of the hotel. apologized to us for the way we were being treated a found us other accommodation. I was told that the room rate that I was able to obtain through Travelocity was 45% cheaper, maybe that was the problem I don't know

Would stay here again

A nice and clean hotel with a very friendly staff but the slowest elevator in the world. Would stay here again if I have to be in the Desoto area.

dishonest and tricky hotel

I book this hotel through Travelocity and paid everything before I arrive to hotel. When I get there, they told me they don't have room left. What the heck! They just told me that they will refund the money. but it's been more than one week I have been waiting for my refund. They always say they don't have person to confirm it. On that night ,they charged two different person on one room. I think they are trying to trick the person and try to get more money. Never book this hotel!!
