My name is not Eileen., tv control never work They gave me a room on the fourth floor knowing the elevator is not working. Free breakfast was cold and horrendous salty potatoes only few links they took away the muffins before my wife try one, no eggs and counters messy cereals all over. Just advice for the administration try to accommodate and understand your customers every customer needs different requests.

Lacking in hospitality…

When we got there, there was no one to check us in because they were doing a “shift change “and then when we were looking for breakfast the next day there was no one at the desk because the people working therewere outside smoking in front of the hotel. The water didn’t drain in the tub so we had to stand in ankle deep water while we were showering. The TV had audio, but no picture until we had to reset it.It was just not the place for us.

I booked and paid for a room with 2 Queen Beds. When we arrived, we got a room with 2 double beds and were told the hotel doesn’t even have Queen beds. The TV didn’t work. I picked up the room phone to call the front desk and it didn’t work either. We found someone’s pube in the tub and pre on the back of the toilet. I paid for 3 nights but left and went to another hotel. No refund because I booked through Expedia. Spend a little more and book elsewhere!

Great stay!

The pool area was very nice, liked the variety of games. Our room was clean and beds very comfortable. Really liked the shower head! Hotel close to the mall and botanical gardens. Wish there were recycling bins for plastic bottles and soda cans though. Would definitely come back.
