We called in advance to hotel to make sure hottub was working, they told us it was, when we arrived, and after a day of sports, we went to hottub, and it was not working... whoever did the remodeling on hotel, should have been fired on day 1. Hotel room was missing curtains, kept us awake with light shining thru blinds. I won't be back to this hotel again

It was okay for a one night stay. But the outside of the building had pieces of the buildings stonework falling off, part of the awning was missing. Inside the walls were patched up, missing wall paper, hallways and rooms not lit well. You could hear everything through the walls. The room itself was fine other than some of the plugs didn’t work. It was hard to find seating at breakfast and they ran out of a lot of food by 8am. Trash was also overflowing at breakfast so people were just stacking plates by the garbage.

That it was a larger lobby and breakfast area than normal, probably because it originally was a Holiday Inn. Friendly personnel. Didn't like that yhe restaurant was gone, didn't like the low toilets, didn't like that there were no instructions regarding the tv or working the remote. We couldn't get it to change channels-- so no tv.
