Travelled with family, Travelled with group
Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The check in process was easy. Hotel is broken up into 2 sections so you have to walk outside to get to the main part. The people on our floor were extremely loud and continued late into the night. The parking is scarce and you have to pay $25 a day. Overall, wouldn’t return for the cost.

The hotel was taking Covid precautions seriously and required masks everywhere except your room and scheduled time in the pool. It was our second stay at this location. The staff was friendly and helpful. We'll come again!

The parking staff were wonderful! Very friendly and helpful! As far as the hotel,we will never return! The beds are small,their elevator is ridiculous,they do not have enough parking for everyone. We were blocked in by 6 cars. Had to wait before we could leave. The pool time was a joke! I could go on and on!!
