The property had so much potential. The front staff was kind, but one staff member was outside smoking, which is gross and she did it at the front entrance doors. The restaurant didn't serve breakfast because they were short staffed. They had it one morning on the June 8th and it was terrible and cold. The bar outside was super cute but once again it was closed a few days because it was short staffed. The didn't do house cleaning, only every 3 days so we had to ask for more items. The gym had one treadmill and one bike. They need a weight rack with some dumb bells at least. I wanted to upgrade my room but because I booked with Expedia, they wouldn't allow me to.

The on site restaurant was sorely understaffed. I felt terrible for the one waitress, waiting on the whole place. They weren’t serving over half of the drink menu and waited until 20 minutes after I ordered to tell me they were out of the dish I ordered. When the new dish I ordered came out, it was cold. It took about 2 hours from start to finish to get our meal. The onsite lounge was no better. They advertised drink flights and appetizers, yet when we got here they didn’t have anything they advertised. When we asked for a menu, we were told there was no menu. The waitress had no idea what they even had available. It was frustrating for sure. Having said this, the pool/hot tub area looked freshly remodeled and very clean. Front desk staff was helpful and kind. Rooms were clean and comfortable.
