The stay my family had there was great. They say it was nice spot because of the cleanliness of the place and the hotel was close to the activities we had planned there.
Giovanne, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

No internet, very noisy neighbor with children (8) people in a room, staff did nothing to quell the situation, brown recluse spider in the bathroom, refrigerator was missing a foot so it was super wobbly, I love the brand but this was the worst one ever, sadly, it wasn’t cheap either and the breakfast was way overcooked. Great hotel gym however, one of the best! I won’t be back but I won’t give up on the brand.

John, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Horrible stay

The stay was horrible very sorry feeling. The ADU room that they booked as a “suite” was very small. The tub had a broken drain and it didn’t work we had to take showers only. Also the sink outside of the bath because it was and disabled set up room sprayed water everywhere when turned in. Obviously the the metal filter was not installed as it looked to be somewhat new … water aggressively sprayed out everywhere … there were hi alas in bikes constantly in parking lot going in and out of creek area where they were obviously living…
