I didn’t find staff to be helpful. My tv had no volume. When AI asked for towels I was told they were out for the day. The only thing I was satisfied with was the hot and fresh breakfast.

Improvement of principles needed

The property was okay but you can quickly tell the property is not being maintained like it should and will quickly deteriorate. The customer service was also poor. I arrived at 2pm and there was a woman checking in in front of me and I herd the manager tell her that check in was at 4pm but he had a couple rooms and he would be able to check her in if she paid a $25 fee. She was obviously irritated but reluctantly agreed to pay the fee. Then it was my turn and conveniently he had the same couple of rooms available if I was willing to pay the fee. The exact type of room that I booked just happened to be available if I was willing to pay the fee. I just feel the integrity of this hotel is not what it needs to be and I will not be staying there again.

The check-in process takes too long and the indoor water park hours aren’t great but the property itself is wonderful for the price.

Room was great with a suite look. However there was a used soap still sitting in the bathroom soap dish. The immediate area was pretty sketchy-looking. The only restaurants were fast food places and we looked for blocks along E. Prien.

Towels in room were well used. They were very thin and scratchy on the body…..these had to be the lowest quality bath towels for a hotel in this price range. Continental breakfast was the worst I ever had. Bagels were hard and broke when you tried to split them with a knife. Eggs were sub-par and tasted fake and I have no idea what the sausage patties were made from. Did not have eggs prepared to fit the biscuits (which fell apart when you bit into them) so that you could make a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit to have as a breakfast sandwich. I have stayed at hotels that provided this type of egg on the continental breakfast buffet. The whole experience was sadly disappointing. I cannot recommend this property nor will I be staying here in future visits.
