Average hotel, could use some love, hot tub needed a cleaning, average breakfast, could use some paint throughout, and better attention to detail cleaning. But definitely got the job done, and wasn't discusting by any means. Enjoyed the suite style rooms.

Room quality Great. Air quality needs improvement

The amenities were great. I had a one bedroom one queen suite. Very nice. The only issue we had was the air comfort. During the night hours, the air got so dry.
