Comfortable and Clean
4 out of 5 only because the hot food was already cleaned up and put away 10 minutes early. Please give the staff instruction to leave it out until 10am since thats what guests are told. I paid a bit more to stay here because breakfast was imcluded. Loved how clean everything was though and all the staff was very friendly.

Unacceptable stay.
The check-in took 15 minutes and I was the only one at the desk. Nice young man working; however, he didn't know what he was doing. The room--one bathroom light was burned out; another was blinking (going out). The room smoke detector on the ceiling was taped up. The worst thing was the humidity in the room. EVERYTHING was damp. The towels in the bathroom never dried at all. Our clothes were damp. We kept the AC at 72 degrees with the fan going all the time. We stayed on the first floor; the windows were not open.

Pool out of service.
When we arrived at the hotel we noticed several people in bathing suits walking in the parking lot. At check in no one told us the pool was out of service until I asked. They were allowing guests to walk to neighboring hotel to use their pool. The pool was heavily chlorinated and had tons of people in it from both hotels. When I inquired about the pool at our hotel the manager said it wasnt their fault that the levels were not safe to swim. I received a very rude email from management. Other than the pool the hotel was good. Breakfast was lacking. Rooms were comfortable.
