We stayed here two years ago and it was a fantastic experience with a new room in the back area by the spa. This is our second stay and the rooms are a bit dated but mainly the cleanliness was not the best. We had to move rooms since the room we were first given was right beside the elevator and was very noisy. The second room was much bigger but there was a terrible smell as soon as we walked in. The small was old pillow smell. We called the front desk and I ask for brand new pillows and linens. They accommodated right away. Overall the care of cleanliness was just not what we had the first time. That being said, the staff are very friendly, the property is lovely and quiet and the bed was quite comfortable.

Property was very nice. Easy check in. Clean and quiet. The only issue is when booking at a hotel when you have a family the amenities are important. We looked for a hotel switch a waterslide and this one looked great. We arrived and they said waterslide was closed for both days due to no lifeguard. It was disappointing for my kid.

I had no problem with the property. My only problem was with the restaurant. As I worked all day and returned to hotel in the evening, so this was my most convenient place to have my dinner. I tried for the first night. Food was delicious and service was friendly. The following night, I was created and had a table. I stayed on my table for 40 minutes. The waitress passed by my table several times. The hostess also passed next to me several times. There was a busboy who passed by my table as well. I tried to grab their attention. It seems that they purposely avoided to make eye contacts. So the remaining of the week, I had to eat elsewhere. But never to this restaurant again. I am going to same area frequently for business. So, never again
