    The breakfast was a joke. All reheated food and not done well…dried out and tasteless. Constant construction…lobby was constantly dirty with construction people in and out. I tried to work from the room during the day and it was extremely loud. Also the bathtub overflow drain in our room was just a plastic pipe sticking out of the bathtub

    The room itself was nice. The beds were very comfortable

    Currently under construction in the main area, some of the trash bags were not empty in our room when we arrived, and they charged the 100 dollar deposit on the wrong card before they asked.

    I liked the size of the room, the bedding, the layout of the room

    We stayed for the pool and hot tub, our main reason for choosing this hotel was a hot tub. Their pool was under renovation so we had to go across to their sister property. Pool was open at the sister hotel but there was no hot tub.

    It was very clean and the breakfast was good with plenty of options.

    They asked for a $100 payment for any damages and I was told that would be returned to me within 3 to 5 days after the visit. I still haven't received the money back. I called the hotel again and was now told up to 20 days, which seems like a ridiculous amount of time to get it back. I am still working on getting my money. I was also disappointed that the hot tub was removed. I did book this hotel based on reviews from people stating it was nice to have the hot tub, but was disappointed it was gone.

    The breakfast was wonderful.

    There was only one person at the front desk and a line all the way to the door. It took too long to check in. They could have done a much better job of anticipating the need for shuttles. I wasn't able to take advantage of parking because the shuttle was full and another wasn't due for 30 minutes. Making this information available at check in and finding out who needed a shuttle and when would have resolved this.

    I liked the ease of booking and check out. The room was clean and in good repair although it looked a little worn.

    When I had booked the room, I requested in the comment section, that they make sure that there is soap and toothpaste in the room, because my previous experience left me without those things. Unfortunately when we got to the room, those exact things were missing. That is something that is standard in a hotel room and should have been checked before allowing guests, especially one who requested that, to enter the room.

    Breakfast was okay, though I didn't eat much.

    I changed my booking because this one offered a hot tub next to the indoor pool but when we went to get in, the hot tub had be taken out. When I checked in, I was not aware that housekeeping only cleans IF requested the night before, so we had to clean our own room.

    Felt safe and it was clean.

    The first night we stayed was rough. The fire alarms went off at 10:30PM which was a false alarm. And then around 2:30AM there was noise around our door that sounded like someone was trying to come in. We didn’t see anyone though. Then a few minutes after that, we got a phone call and no one was on the other end. The bed was really hard so needless to say we didn’t get much sleep.

    The breakfast was good and well stocked. The staff was friendly upon check in and check out. The room was clean.
