4/10 Fair

No rooms were available when I arrived. Was sent to another hotel with no pool, or restaurant that they had booked, only thing they offered was a shuttle to get me there.

AMAZING Staff!
This is really a solid hotel for the price. The staff is what stands out the most...they were great during my stay. Restaurant staff had a super positive attitude and were very friendly. The reception was very friendly and helpful. They are really what made the experience positive. It is a little bit noisy, and you can hear suitcases and luggage being hauled up and down the hallways. Other than that, it was great. The bed was comfortable, the AC worked, room was clean, etc. I would easily stay here again.
