Overall stay was great and staff was great. Pool area could have been a little more cleaned up and organized but the pool itself was clean. Only negative was the site said there was a bar on the premises and there was not.

Fine but old

Everything was basically fine. The staff was nice and the rooms were clean and comfortable. But the hotel is definitely old and feels like it; the carpet in particular felt dirty and there was no AC in the hallway so it felt stuffy.

Requested a protraction when booking. Parts of it were missing when we got there. Staff tried to find them, even called GM, but after 3 hours, still couldn’t find. We improvised, but annoying. Shower curtain installed backwards, and torn all along the top. One bed had large divot on one side. Causing rolling to edge. Breakfast was cold (supposed hot food, cold).

The check in was incredibly slow apparently a lot of mix ups and errors earlier in the days any time you stay when a travel ball team is there it can be rough. The noise was louder later in the evening we had to be gone by 4am didn’t appreciate you could hear the noise from other rooms and in the hall and the pool was overly congested with the kids
