Used to be a premier hotel. It’s literally falling apart in places. We had to change rooms due to a water leak in bathroom. We had just checked in. Someone isn’t monitoring the rooms. The room we moved into had the door bent in about three inches on the bottom. It would still close. Smell of cigarettes in hallways and outside exit.

My stay was three nights. The maid service only made the bed, which I had already done. Emptied the trash once, never cleaned the in-room coffee pot or replaced the coffee bags that had been used. Never replaced a towel.

Very nice hotel. Hit breakfast included....was really good and nice variety!! Loved the pool area. Not happy about the hot tub being out of order. My only other complaint....the breakfast area was uncomfortably warm. Needed the air on in there. I would recommend this hotel!!!

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The items at the breakfast bar were generous. The hot tub is closed permanently but still is reflected in the pictures. The room was clean. However, the bed was so hard that I didn’t sleep well. There were no towels at the pool.
