The room was outdated. We got the jet tub and it was semi dirty when the water started. Not sure but i believe they have peole in apartment settings in the hotel area and they were loud.

The room was clean and spacious and it was fun to have the Jacuzzi tub although we had a problem turning the taps off at one point! Our only complaint was that plugs won't stay in most of the electrical outlets, so it was hard to charge phones and iPads.

Sad Traveler
I was on my way home from a trip and called to book a room. When I realized I was closer to home I decided to just finish the drive home. I called to cancel about 10 minutes after I made the reservation and they still charged me. I explained what happened and the woman didn’t seem to care. She wasn’t understanding and she wasn’t at all friendly. She said “you booked it today. No refunds.” I was so disappointed.

Nice spot to stay, you get what you pay for. The bathroom door stuck when you tried to open it, but it made for entertainment whenever someone had to try and get out. LOL. It's kind of tricky they must own all 3 hotels in a row we had to go down 2 buildings to check in and out.
