The room was dirty, the hotel didn't have WiFi, and their signal was interfering with mine; the doors didn't have a security guard, unlike many hotels. I have photos of it, but this platform doesn't allow me to upload. It doesn't value the money you pay for the rooms.

Could use some updates and paint.

The front desk were very helpful when we asked to be moved to a different room because we didn't want to be right next to the outdoor bar. The inside and outside could use a little updating and some paint. We had a streamside room and the balcony floor was broken on one side and had a definite slope. After a full day of activities, we wanted to get some pizza but their wasn't a cook...on a Friday afternoon. We had a nice time at the outside bar that over looked the stream. All in all, if they did some updates we would consider staying there again.

Got to the hotel and was given a king size bed that we paid for and it smelled so bad of smoke as myself and husband couldnt stay in. ended up in a queen size bed on 9th flr. and very small room. went to get ice back to first floor. elevators were schetchy. On the bed in the morning we saw bed bug dirt. Talked with receptioinst and only thing she could do is 50 percent off a next visit. would not recommend this place at all. we had other famly members stay for a reunion and there was a wedding there . puke all over walkways next day. nope

Disappointed. Chose hotel for sister trip because of amenities. Outdoor pool was to be open May 25-Sep.30 but was closed, green and no lounge chairs. Indoor pool had no towels. There was no jacuzzi or fitness center, no mention they were closed for renovation. Chose balcony room which was run down, had coffee maker but no coffee even though we asked. Hotel in disrepair Do not recommend.
