9/10 Wonderful! (838 reviews)
The hotel had a weird smell to it when we checked in. I can’t say the person that checked us in was super friendly. She seemed annoyed that she had to stop whatever she was doing. Our shower didn’t drain well so the water just built up while we were showering. The beds were super comfortable. I guess I was expecting more or better based on reviews and was disappointed.

8.8/10 Excellent! (1,921 reviews)
Room was spacious and clean. Front desk helped explain anything and everything to us about any questions we had. Breakfast was a pretty standard continental breakfast, but I did enjoy a few items that I do not normally see at hotels. This was our first stay at this location, but I will definitely book this hotel again in the near future!

Great room. Big bathroom to get ready in. Pool and hot tub were ao so clean and had plenty of towels even at night. The breakfast bar was set up nicely, clean and had lots of options. It’s also right next to the outlet mall which is great! The beds feel like you’re sleeping on a cloud.
