Liked: Amenities
They oversold the room type we had reserved, they remedied it to our quasi-satisfaction by giving us two rooms instead of one BUT it took more than 20 -30 minutes to get it straightened out which was ridiculous! The clerk was seemingly inexperienced and kept goung to find the manager for help, we were disappointed the hot tub had been removed. We have stayed at this location numerous times over the years and never remember a parking fee so that was a negative, especially since there was no valet service to help you to your room. The breakfast and its are were LOVELY and much nicer than before and so was the Evening reception. The table staff at breakfast were AWESOME! They were constantly on the move, helping guests and cleaning the tables and making sure the food lines were immaculate, we REALLY WERE DELIGHTED with that. We and our children with us appreciated the pool and the new limit of ten people at once, it made it so much nicer, reasonable noise level and quality experience, Thank you. Deborah Kimokeo

This hotel was great! We loved the pool, gym (new equipment and treadmills that face an open window with a nice view), breakfast (especially the fresh fruit), customer service and cleanliness of the hotel. The pool had lots of towels. There were swallows nesting above our room and we got to see them feed their babies! There seemed to be some plumbing issues. Our toilet did not flush properly and the pool deck drains were not draining well making the pool area slippery. We saw several children slip and fall. All said, we would love to return!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
I have been staying at this hotel for 25 years. I had just been driving for 10 hours and realized it was unsafe to keep driving and I was having a medical issue where I needed a shower asap and rest, so I made the reservation via Expedia at 3. Arrived at 4pm and didn’t get my room until nearly 5pm. Staff was so rude and slow. I told them I needed to get to my room asap due to personal medical issue and they were unresponsive, rude, and painfully slow at getting me my room. Then I got there and there was no tub, which I had requested for said medical issue. Took them 10 minutes to move me. Then I got locked out this morning and took another 10 minutes to get someone to even acknowledge me. Get better staff!!! Train them to be human and compassionate. I will never stay here again. It was the opposite of what I needed after driving for 10 Hours straight and being sick. I missed breakfast due to slow nature of getting me back into my room and then the coffee machine was out.
