Cellphone service was terrible. Also the tv service kept cutting in and out. Also the wifi wouldn’t connect.
The staff were super friendly and helpful. Olivia at the front desk helped us navigate around town and provided great information regarding local events and transportation. Nice place for sure.
This was a lousy experience. We got into the room and the kids sleep couch wasn’t made and had old sheets on. I was told by management to fix it and myself and housekeeping handed me sheets .
The breakfast was average at best and the breakfast attendant was overbearing and pushing for tips.
Everything was great! Only downfall was there was no cold water. Only hot water came out of the bathroom sink and shower. Other than that, it was a great stay!
