It was one of the better experiences I've had at hotels. Not sure why exactly but floors turned the bottom of your feet black despite the many times I've seen hotel staff using mop. Soda/Snack machines did not work. Couldn't really enjoy the indoor pool due to other children left unsupervised and constantly jumping/diving in pool.

Hotel is very clean. Customer services very accommodating and willing. Only odd thing is front desk being on the phone for personal calls. You can hear it upstairs because of the open lobby however, I would definitely stay there again.

The staff were all friendly and the hotel was comfortable except for the bugs. Immediately killed one roach on arrival and a second one within the first hour. Saw a few more before we checked out.

The hotel was clean but had no character. The decor was simple. The breakfast wasn’t good. The eggs were preheated in the microwave in front of the guests
