Check in was easy, staff was really nice and helpful. We stood in a 2 floor suite whixh was nice having a seperate bedroom. You can tell the hotel has been renovated and the staff keeps it clean but it does smell like smoke in the walls and carpets. Thia place must have allowed smoking before and the smell is lingering. I bought febreeze which helped. The pool area was really nice, i wish i would have asked for a balcony, but i didnt know. The pool was suppose to be heated but was not at the time only the kids could go in. Overall it was good for the price as long as your not sensitive to the lingering cigarette smell.
