Property and restaurant were amazing! Parking lot was very noisy at night Someone repeatedly locking their doors with keyless fob so horn would keep going off all night.

The property is unique as well as the rooms. Definitely has a retro style. My biggest complaint would be the fact our shower had hair in it and the floors had not been cleaned. The staff are friendly. I booked a double queen room and there’s not room for more than 2 people to move around comfortably in the room we booked. Other than that we enjoyed our stay. The pool was nice but the kids didn’t have parents who watched them as they screamed until the pool closed and ran everywhere! There were a couple drunk men who were in the pool after midnight being loud but the staff did eventually get them to leave!

Property location and uniqueness were great. Staff were avg friendly. VIP amenity was not provided even when I presented my receipt, I was told they didn’t recognize or honour it. I also tried to update my Hilton rewards at site and they said no that I couldn’t, because I used another site to book. I hadn’t had that problem before.

They do not tell you but there is a $150 pet fee that they add on to your room when you get there. And they made three (3) separate $100 charges to my card. When I contacted the front desk to inquire I wasn’t given a clear answer, other than the non-refundable pet fee but that the refund would take place minus the pet fee. They could also add actual grass for those of us with dogs, so the dogs aren’t pooing in dirt. Other than that, very comfy, very cute. Clean. Pool area very nice.

Great friendly place to stay.

It was a very nice hotel. The staff was friendly and very helpful. I accidentally choose the wrong dates for my stay, and luckily they had a room available. The manager was very helpful in both getting me a new booking and resolving my accidental incorrect booking as well.
