I actually stayed for 6 days. The staff was amazing, super sweet and attentive. The hotel needs serious update, upgrades and some love. The hotel had easy parking , good a/c and it was close to my father in law house, so it was convenient. These are the issues with The hotel. The pool is big and clean but the Jacuzzi was not working. We tried using the gym ( two treadmill, one bike, one cable machine and one elliptical ) only the cable machine was working properly, so we only tried it once. The carpets smelled a little musty. The mattresses was too soft, poor quality and the pillows were like sleeping on a bag of compact sand. We only tried the breakfast once, in the picture it looks like a buffet but it's not, they serve you the food so it's not worth it for the 16 bucks. They give you 2 pork sausage, one scoop of scrambled eggs, half a waffle, toast and six tater tots. The juice and coffee you can grab your self on these small paper cups that are probably 6 ounce. You can get a sandwich and juice for probably half that from bakery. I wouldn't stay in this hotel again unless it got a major update, but I know it won't because it would take thousands of dollars to make it compete with other. It's sad because the staff are really great and seemed really hard working.

Mi experiencia

El Hotel está en un lugar Súper Céntrico La Habitación muy espaciosa y equipada con todo lo necesario, pero el aire acondicionado frío a los extremos y sin poder apagarlo por instrucciones del Hotel, eso debe corregirse pues no se puede permanecer en la habitación congelada. El TV se veía horrible. Excelente servicio en Front Desk. Tienen gran cantidad de opciones de entrega de comida rápida ya que no cuentan con un restaurante. La piscina bonita y limpia, con buen horario de uso. Ciertamente me volvería a hospedar pero necesitan hacer algunos arreglos al lugar. Lo recomiendo pero para una estadía no más de dos noches.
