Run down with 8-legged friends

The building is really old and in need of serious updating. The rooms are very rundown. Our room was filled with spiders, I say filled loosely… we found three(!), and there were probably more that we didn’t find. The room and bathroom were super tiny and the shower had no water pressure. The highlight of our stay was the pleasant desk staff.

Convenient location/ all the things you need

We stayed in a suite and would do it again. Nice having the extra space with kids. Pool was good enough for the kids. Coffee/tea/hot chocolate available all day/evening and nice since they swam at night and we needed it to stay warm. Nice to have tables next to the pool so the adults had a place to sit play games. We didn’t use the kitchenette in the room, but if we need it next time we will. Location next to fast dining establishments couldn’t be more perfect. We got our water bottles refilled at the gym in the hotel. Breakfast was fabulous and had something for everyone. Would 100 percent come back again.

Was not happy with the sink, it was automatic and could not control the temperature. I am not sure if all of the rooms are like this or it is the accessible rooms which we had to take because of a last minute trip. Breakfast was great and the front desk clerk was very kind and helpful.

Unfortunately our stay didn’t go well. We experienced racial discrimination 2hrs into our stay. They also called the police on us, all because of the receptionist racial bias towards our teenage boys who were enjoy themselves in the hot tub after there tournament. They where not disturbing anyone, no other guest there. The words she used towards us and the kids were uncomfortable and unpleasant. Police report was taken we were not at fault. Will the hotel take responsibility, probably not. Sports parents if traveling don’t stay here if your a person of color.
