From the outside, it is evident they are renovating. Walking in, the lobby was bright, clean and appears to be new. While the staff was great, the rest of the facility was not as desirable. We checked into a room undergoing maintenance which the front desk staff was unaware of after checking the system with no record of the work. She quickly switched our room though. When we went to use the hot tub and pool, HUGE disappointment. For one, there were no pool towels available. The hot tub was literally yellow, looked like urine but probably an overload of chemicals and there was debris floating around. The pool did not look much better so we chose not to utilize either. The rooms are definitely dated but quite clean. The towels were fresh and fluffy. Clean comfortable sheets and pillows with high quality mattresses. We slept well and our room was clean but that is the only good I can write. The breakfast was less than mediocre. Slimy premade omelettes, dried out potatoes and disgusting breakfast sausage. I opted for toast with yogurt and was satisfied enough with that. I will likely not return to this property and go to another hotel when visiting my daughter at college.
