Thin walls, I could hear the conversations word for word of my neighbors and even their snoring overnight. The beds were rock hard and for some reason the pillows were tiny. The internet was very spotty. On the positive side the rooms were spacious and the staff was great.

On our first night stay we had to request a room change. The heater was not working in our original room. We tried adjusting the heater temperature, but it was only blowing cold air. The outside temperature was already very cold. we were in our room having to wear our hoodies and beanies to keep warm. After getting moved to a room with a working heater, we had to call the front desk again. Our TV was not working. No one showed up on that night, we had to call back again on the following day to get that issue fixed. After that was taken care of it was good. But it was a big incoveniece not having a working TV

Overall, the stay was ok. The window horizontal blinds could not open due to missing opening rod. I called the staff but they couldn't fix it. The wifi is very weak and takes a long time to load anything. I had no phone service. The shower gel was making no foam. Had to use a lot to be able to wash myself. Outside pools and hot tubs were closed for renovation. Maybe I missed them but I could not locate any security cameras around the parking lots.

The room was nice and I really liked the suite layout with the loft room separate from the downstairs room. The bathroom was nice and clean and had good water pressure. The store was well stocked and had lots of great food, drinks, and other items. My only real issue was the Internet was pretty much unusable. Wi-Fi calling wouldn’t work so I couldn’t make any phone calls because there was no cell reception and it was impossible to do any work in the evenings. If they can improve their Internet, then I’d give them a five star.
