Pros: clean, large room with great space, fantastic shower, nice patio with fire pit just outside the large lobby Cons: paper thin walls, uncomfortable bed, very poor breakfast Believe it or not the cons out weighed the pros. Probably will not return

I arrive at 11:00pm to find out that the Air Conditioning is out for the entire hotel. Never got a call or email even though I am Lifetime Gold Elite and they have my contact details in my profile. Travelocity is ZERO HELP - it takes five phone calls before they agree to book me into another hotel for the second night of my stay. I wind up spending the night in an 83 degree room and Travelocity has the nerve to try and charge me for that night. I get up the next morning to find both elevators are broken. This hotel is poorly maintained and poorly managed. And I will never use Travelocity again due to their poor customer service. So tired of being transferred to a call center in India and hearing kids screaming in the background.

The hotel was extreamly nice and clean. The continental breakfast was excellent. Check in was fast and easy. Now the bad, The guest check in people said that I can have Have a millitary discount as Im a veteran. They even said that my rate was high. Then when checking out, a new guest checkout person said that they could not do anything about the discount. That the managers looked into it but could not give it to me. A bunch of garbage. Why say you would, then do noting?? I guess it was a inconvenieence to even try.

The location was PERFECT in the sense that you were so close to everything from shopping mall/outlet/plazas and so many food options! Also, the place was beautiful, staff was so helpful and nice, and my room was perfect. Did a solo night away for Mother’s Day and I have absolutely no complaints. I’d love to come back for a solo night away again. Highly recommend!
