It was nice but our shower in room 306 barely had any water dripping out. It could use some updating.

Good hotel, bad A/C
Comfy bed, good service. Great breakfast (for a hotel breakfast). My one big complaint is the A/C was off and locked out where we could not turn it on or adjust anything. The wall thermostat was also blank and unusable. The room ended up being hot, both my wife and I had trouble sleeping because of the heat. Not sure why we weren’t allowed to set A/C but that was frustrating. Otherwise good hotel

The stay was okay. The staff were very polite and helpful. The main reason for staying at this location was for the pool but it was closed due to ownership change and some licensing changes.
