What I liked was the pool area besides for the water fountain that you drink from, it looked so nasty with brown spots on it and the welcoming desk area which was helpful and the helpful Willow through text messages. What I didn't like was in no particular order, the one older male cleaning janitor who kept cussing left and right and complaining about having children is a wonderful tax credit while cussing about it to another janitor. My room had a water leak from the room above us leaking into ours, I have a photo of this one. The bathroom door for our room did not close correctly so it left a wide gap because it's on a roller and you could pretty much see the person if you really wanted to do that, which made my family pretty uncomfortable, one person just used the public bathroom the entire time. My next complaint is about our door to our room, it did not close correctly, so you had to put your body weight into it if you wanted the door to latch properly. My last complaint is about the Ben and Jerry's on location, I went to this area that wasn't busy at the time and ordered a milkshake which pretty much was just ice cream liquefied as water and no it wasn't hot inside of the hotel to make it melt the instant she handed it to me. I would not stay at this hotel again but I would use the pool area again, perhaps, unless I could locate another hotel with a pool area.
