I stayed five days at this facility while attending training on the premises. I found it to be both pleasant and a reasonable value. While the rooms themselves were unremarkable, the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff (front desk, housekeeping, and maintenance) made the stay memorable. The room temperature was fine (and controllable), the bed firm, and the room itself... More

nice rooms, great restaurant and bar, wonderful breakfast buffet, nice pool and really friendly and knowledgeable front desk and housekeeping staff. It was a busy time at the hotel but the hallways and adjacent rooms were quiet and sleep was not disturbed.

There is an inner and outer ring of rooms. The rooms on the outer ring face out, of course (but it can be hard to get one that's not on the ground floor with people looking in).

I could not sleep a full night as the beds were way to hard. I slept better on my plane flight back home than in that bed. I probably would have slept better on the floor. It also didn't help the pillows were ~3/4 the size of a normal pillow.

Staff was nice, but facility was tired. First thing you'll notice is the chlorine smell when you enter the hotel lobby, that's because the pool is in the center of the hotel. Not a sensory greeting I care for. Room dressings need a big fresh/update. Bed soft & squishy, terrible. Bathroom ceiling is very low & fixtures needed updating too.... More
