We like the beds they use but this was our second trip back and we won’t stay again. The toilet had issues. Did not fill with water. We had to put our hands in the disgusting tank and try to fix it ourselves. We called the office and they didn’t have anyone to look at it. We will find another hotel next time.

John R, Westminster

Wasn’t allowed to check in until about 2 hrs after the posted check in time, was told room wasn’t ready. Kept being told 20-30 more minutes. When we got to the room we found a cork from a bottle in one of the lampshades so pretty sure the room wasn’t cleaned very well. Pool looked greenish and not very clean. Used to love staying here, but will probably look elsewhere next time.

Everything was good the staff was very nice and helpful. The only thing was that my room smelled like cigarette smoke when I first walked in. It went away after i turned on the air-conditioning.
