8.6/10 Excellent! (1,159 reviews)
I didn’t get names, but the two male staff- one was an evening shift, then the overnight shift were truly amazing! They were very courteous, friendly and attentive. The next morning, a female was working who was also wonderful. She was extremely friendly and accommodating with situations we had arise. We loved our first room on the 4th floor! The pool area is well kept, clean and the kids had so much fun. We were grateful for a hot breakfast as well. I would recommend this hotel, I felt safe, it was clean and the staff were top tier.

The bed was OK. Everything was run down and dirty. One of the exterior doors had the lock out of it so the site was accessible to anyone at any time. another of the exterior doors was stuck in the locked position which I felt probably created a fire hazard as you could not get out the door from the inside. This was also the door closest to my room so it made it inconvenient hauling my luggage in and out.
