I like this hotel because it is close to everything, there’s a lot stores, restaurants, gas, close to the military base but I don’t like the cleanliness because we stay there for 5 days and I have to put garbage out every day because they don’t clean, when I saw the cleaning lady, I asked her if she could give a trash bag because I needed to clean the garbage room and she said “ take it, I am very tired “ I also have to ask for towels to the receptionist because we were there for 5 days and we need clean towels and we were in the 4th floor so I have to clean the room every day.

They were very helpful in finding me an additional room and were very helpful to my family. Very kind staff, all of them, coffee was always available, breakfast was good. Thank you! A short swim was enjoyable with fun, a little longer would of been nice, but we understand the time difference, (10PM your time is only 8:00 PM our time).
