7.8/10 Good! (1,005 reviews)
We stayed here due to the water outage having cancelled our original reservation. It’s doable for a night, wouldn’t stay for more. The AC in our and our friends rooms was useless. Set it to 67 and it barely rumbled. We ended up having to try and sleep with the balcony doors open and couldn’t because the sounds of traffic so close were so loud. It was too late to change rooms. Smelled like weed throughout the hotel, which I didn’t care, but don’t complain about cigarette smoke in a smoking area if your hotel reeks of marijana inside. There was no breakfast. The bar never opened. Very few options for food or drinks in the convenience area.

Property is very nice. Ceiling looked like it was in the midst of a renovation but everything else in the room was nice and clean. They added a personable touch with my name on the TV screen (which is always nice). I would definitely stay at this location, again!!

2 King suite was great. Plenty of room and great for families to get a little separation. Kids enjoyed the pool and basketball courts. Breakfast was acceptable with enough options for everyone.
