Too bad the beautiful pool was not open. They are having trouble finding compatible parts for an old pump. We all know about those kinds of issues.

We chose this hotel because it had an indoor pool. Unfortunately, it was not open. The water was dark green so it looks like it has been closed for quite some time.

The pool still isn’t open after two years.
Little things in the room were irksome. There was only decaf coffee in the room, and a quarter of a roll of toilet paper with no spare. But it was relatively clean, the beds were comfortable. Good Mexican food next door.

Bit run down, Pool closed for a year!
I waited to give this review.
To get this right in my head. I don't like giving bad reviews. Booked this hotel even though out of the way (40 miles each) Because it said it had a pool on this website, Expedia and their corporate website. Upon getting there we find out the pool has been closed for a year due to broken pipes. The clerk insisted that the website said that. But my wife and I could not find it anywhere. Tired and frustrated we got our room, And just wanted to rest after 452 miles of driving. The carpets in the hallways and room were dirty. The room smelled musty. The breakfast was was the least appetizing of all the hotels we stayed not bad, just not good.
I hate to give that report but of the 8 hotels we stayed in on our 3,000 mile trip this was the worst.

Pool is broken…. Locals said for over a year. Definitely should have been told this! Bathtub didn’t hold water. Dirt was dropping from ceiling fan. Did have a nice breakfast and nice employees

Disappointed!
I specifically picked this hotel as my kids wanted to have a pool. At check in i had to ask what the hours of the pool were. The guy at this point mentioned that the pool was under construction. When booking this there was no indication that this was happening. My 4 and 13 year children were very disappointed in this. Had i known i would have never booked this hotel…please notate this when booking to make sure no other families fall thru on promises to their children.
