The front desk staff was wonderful! The pool was shut down because it had not been properly cared for. It was opened back up later in the evening, but was so filthy we were afraid to swim. When I showered in the morning the soap, shampoo, and conditioner containers in the shower were completely empty. The air conditioner was running constantly, but there was no movement of air in the room so it was just sticky and hot. The fan in the bathroom never turned on so the room was humid and uncomfortable.

We were booked into a room that should not have been given to clients because it had obvious water damage. The new room they booked us into was fine, but we were told the preventive maintenance was complete, and that couldn't be right because it felt wet in the air and I had some serious allergies that resolved magically when we were moved to a different room. I was going to ask for a refund for the first night because I was miserable that first night and I didn't simply because we were in a hurry to leave before checkout. I would stay there again as long as we get another very nice room.

The roll down shade in the room had yellow like it had been wet up half of the shade. Walking the hall it sounded like the floors were shifting under our feet constantly. The AC was loud but blew out cold. Bed was comfy, otherwise clean. Breakfast was ok, eggs looked overcooked, bacon too. Biscuits and Gravy were good. Sugar free option for syrup which was great!

The pancake machine they have available for breakfast makes surprisingly tasty pancakes. The rest was fairly standard, good, but not surprisingly so, although they did have a great selection for yogurts and drinks. The room was nice too but I was mostly just sleeping there due to the nature of my trip so not much to say. Was a bit surprised the bed had a duvet and not just a comforter.
