The room had a bad smell, like the air conditioner needed to be cleaned. People were outside my room talking all hrs of the night and I mean 1-2 o’clock in the morning. Will not stay again.

We had an automobile accident enroute and neither the hotel or Travelocity would allow cancellation with refund. Very sad.

The staff was friendly...room was nice and clean....loved sitting around the fire pit last night....only complaint is that checkout is at 11, but room service came knocking on the door at 9 & woke us up- put your do not disturb sign out! We would definitely stay again!!

great places BUT I had trouble finding a parking place when I checked in because no one at the front desk told me at check in that there was a second parking lot behind the hotel, I had to go back in to find that out. They told me at check in that the pool was going to be closing the next day so I planned my trips accordingly to find out that the pool WAS opened on Sunday. I had a do not disturb sign on my door on Saturday so I understand why my room wasn't cleaned BUT I removed it and it wasn't cleaned at all on Sunday.
