Displeasure!

Unfortunately, our stay was not satisfactory. Key amenities like the pool and hot tub were closed, which was a major disappointment—especially since my son was looking forward to using them. Additionally, there was heavy construction and dust throughout the area near our room, which affected our overall comfort. None of this was mentioned on the website, and had we known in advance, we likely would have made different arrangements. Transparency about closures and renovations is important for guests when planning their stay.

The building is undergoing renovation and lacking signs to help navigate you around the building. Floor 1 hallway was wet. The pool room was cold and hot top was taped off. Bar was the bright spot. Friendly, meal was average and watching the line dancing was fun. Wouldn’t stay again until renovation is completed
