5.0/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The location was convenient, with easy access to the surrounding area and family-friendly amenities, but the rooms were noisy and lacked basic essentials for a comfortable stay.

Rooms

5.0

The first room I was assigned had an extremely loud humming noise coming from the air conditioner, disrupting my sleep all night long like those clogging commercials on TV. Additionally, there were no washcloths or enough toilet paper for all of us, a family of 10 staying together.

Service

7.0

The employees I came in contact with were helpful and managed to resolve the room issue in about an hour, relocating us to a quieter room.

Location

5.0

The hotel is situated on a main road, providing easy access to the surrounding area, which was convenient for our family with children. However, the property is in need of some fresh paint and care, giving it a slightly run-down appearance.

Dining

5.0

The dining options, especially the prime steaks, were overpriced for the quality and portion sizes. By 9 PM, the food selection was almost out, leaving much to be desired.

Facilities

5.0

The hotel charged additional fees for parking and access to the swimming pool/waterpark area, making it costly for basic amenities.

5.6/10

The hotel provided a clean and spacious room, although a bit worn and not the one initially booked due to misinformation regarding the pool. The service was mixed with room issues blamed on third-party bookings, but some staff members were friendly, like Paul the shuttle driver. The location, though convenient for access, faced challenges with climate control and additional fees for amenities. Dining options were underwhelming and construction was evident. The facilities offered were standard.

The hotel rooms were very large, and the bathroom was wonderful and very clean. However, the room felt more like a standard one and may not have been worth the price charged. The hotel was conveniently located on each floor.

Service

8.0

The staff went out of their way to be accommodating. Although at times they seemed too busy bussing tables to tend to new guests coming in, they were able to resolve any issues promptly.

Location

6.0

The location on a main road allowed for easy access to the surrounding area. However, there was too much loud traffic noise, garbage, tow, and semi trucks passing by, making it less convenient for taking luggage.

Dining

6.0

The dining experience was average. While there was a free buffet with a good selection of food, it was not being restocked promptly, and the options were pretty slim.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel offered a range of facilities such as car hire, dry cleaning, grocery shopping service, shops, laundry, and an airport shuttle.
