The view is the best part of the stay. The staff was unpleasant. The room was last remodeled in 1994. Think thrifted furniture. Couch was stained. Lamps that were not plugged in or near a plug. Bed super comfy. Very no frills hotel with no real amenity worth the stay...

Staff was great and the room was clean, however- the bed was detached from the head board making it impossible to sleep, toilet paper was not only rough feeling like sandpaper, but also kept falling off the holder. The way the bedroom was set up you couldn’t even watch the tv at night.

Not great experience. Staff was not helpful with double charge of resort fee. Loud construction during stay. Restaurant and bar closed due to painting. Convenience store on site had barely anything in it. Hot tub jets weren’t working.

The view and the staff are the best parts of this hotel. The beds are extremely lumpy and uncomfortable and the walls are so thin you can hear your neighbors talking with normal inside voices. The rooms need updating as well. Our couch had stuffing coming out of a hole and there was dust and dirt in the corners. The floors were dirty as well. Will not return.
