8.2/10 Very Good! (784 reviews)
We booked 2 Queen bed room. The air conditioner/heater was not working. The front desk did allow us to move to a king bed room that had a better working heat/air. The room was ok, could use a better cleaning and a new mattress. A butcher knife was on top of the garbage can, and the back entrance to the hotel wouldn't latch.

Staff were nice and the hottub and pool were nice to use. However the room and lobby area weren’t very clean.
