I liked that compare to most; it was clean and convinient for last minute. They just need to mop the rooms as part of the cleanning.House keepers are really nice and there is always people working on the property, whether it was cleanning for fixing stuff. I didn't like when I made the reservation through Travelocity I was offered a different deal that what the Hotel themselves did not had the same deal. So it was frustrating to make a reservation with certain amount of money and then you go to the hotel and they tell you that you have to pay the whole stay amount upfront plus a $150 dollars deposit fee up front. When I made the reservation it was a total of $895 and when I went to check in I ended up paying close to $1,500. It was dissapointing.

At first I wasn't sure about my booking but after three great nights I highly recommend. The room was freshly /modern renovated. All room appointments situated as you would expect. The heat was perfect on cooler nights. There is an Airport nearby and you can hear the planes landing , however after a certain time . maybe 10 or 11 pm total quiet. I enjoyed the Tiki bar and staff worked to serve many people in an orderly fashion. I had the pool to myself as for some people it may have been a little cool but the pool is heated.

Nice but musty
Booked last minute because of a scheduling issue along with 4 other families. The room looked recently rehabbed and was clean. Staff was nice. Tikki bar and pool was great.Some exterior looked a little rough. The room had a terrible string musty basement smell and they had a loud stand alone dehumidifier going.

The hotel on the outside is not so great they are doing remodeling. The room was clean and in good shape. Everything you need in the room was there. If you need a decent place to stay for a reasonable price this is a good choice.
