It smelled like mild dew was in the carpet and the ice machine was not working. The where not offering handicap accessibility
The room was nice, the bathtub had some rust. The pool and hot tub and room need a lot of work. They clearly had a water leak in the pool. The water was below the skimmer after 24 hours. The water temperature was also freezing. There for a softball tournament. So just needed to sleep.
Lighting was dim. Adjacent rooms and hall were noisy

Ok but priced too high!
Outlet by bed under lights did not work. Shower water did not get hot then went cold very fast! Tv internet went out when we wanted to watch. Came back on later in the night.
We had a great stay. The hotel and our room were nice and the surrounding area was nice too. Close to lots of shopping and restaurants. We enjoyed our stay.
