Room, especially furniture, needs some attention. The cabinet with fridge and TV looked like it might collapse. The seat of the desk chair was entirely worn. The bathroom had new tile in the shower, but a pealing door.

We were put in the hall that housed dogs. One was barking and I asked to be moved, before we entered the room, and they were good about it. Did put me in a room overlooking the indoor pool, so we had that noise until 10:00. Otherwise it was quiet.

Room was not clean. Shower was nasty. Bathroom door was splintered on the bottom with no lock. Toilet was so small and short, it was hard to even get up from. Tv remote was broken. Direct tv package was barely a service. Most channels were not available. Breakfast was bad. Sloppy scrambled eggs..runny gravey and sausage linka that tasted terrible.

We ended up in a handicap room and that was okay, we did not request a handicap. Room was nice, the shower head hardly put out the water, there was a drain in the shower and also in the middle of bathroom. Which I know why the shower head didn’t put out too much water the hotel didn’t want anyone to slip on the floor. We haven’t had to stay in to many handicap rooms, we are not handicapped but I don’t know if the hotel could have designed the bathroom differently for the shower head to put out more water.

Hotel is conveniently located with a bike trail next to the hotel parking lot. Good trail with some interesting scenery. Hotel room was good but nothing spectacular. Would recommend a room not adjacent to pool as it gets a bit loud and had a constant low humming noise through the night. Solid breakfast options Would stay again. Just would want to stay on different side of hotel
