Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
This property was under renovations the hotel looked and smelled horrible.
This should've been mentioned on the booking site. I feel a refund is owed back due to misrepresentation. They charged my credit card before i even reached my room.
Place was dirty. I was not able to take a shower. Someone’s hair was left in it. It was a lot of hair not sure how anyone could miss if they cleaned. Do not recommend!!!
They are renovating so it is a lot of construction during weekdays but the front desk clerk was exceptional in explaining also he was very inviting, friendly and overall a superb person. The pool was clean I liked the added security detail, note it is outdoors also the gym is well equipped. Would stay again!

There was a huge dead cockroach in our bathroom light, so disgusting. Other than that the stay was okay.
Absolutely terrible. If you can avoid this place, that would be best. The hotel is under construction which was not disclosed. To make matters worse, the staff, including management, were some of the rudest and difficult people ever. They do not let anyone sit in the lobby at all. We were instructed that you must buy something to sit in the LOBBY and then they claimed management didn’t want “rowdiness” in the lobby! We are 40-50 year old adults!!! They would not let us sit in the breakfast area which was just dirty folding tables when we brought some takeout into the hotel. Every time we asked a question, the answer was always no. We even called corporate Hyatt to make a complaint. The hotel is disorganized, the parking lot of full of debris and dumpsters. Overall one of the most disgusting and unaccommodating hotels ever. Do not stay here at all. Not worth your money, your time, or your sanity.

2 issues. Most important, we arrived on time, actually about 10 minutes early as we had a wedding to go to at 3:45 pm. We were told our room was not ready and it would take a few more minutes. It took over a half hour to be ready, so we were late getting to the affair, missing the entire ceremony. Less important was that the hotel lobby was under renovation so you had to be extra careful not to touch the walls due to wet white paint.
The hotel was under renovation so the menu was limited and only beer and wine
Hopefully they will be updated if we return in the spring next year.

Hotel was under renovation and use of first floor was limited. However, overall the hotel, staff, and breakfast were good. Needed to upgrade their overall cleanliness aside from the construction zone.
