The hot tub is not functioning, this is not disclosed on their site. The advertised bar had its doors closed, they served beer from the front desk staff. Spoiled milk at the breakfast bar. The eggs & sausages were barely warm. Waffle mix from dispenser was a weird color so didn't use that. Coffee station trash lid was filthy and the bag was not emptied. Breakfast bar trash can also filthy.

The room I booked online listed 2 king beds and a jetted tub. When we arrived, we were told that none of the rooms with jetted tubs had 2 king beds. I told the manager they should correct this with Hotels.com. Aside from this, the whirlpool tub and room were very clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
