Going to bed a roach crawled across the headboard. Would have expected this from a cheaper motel but not this one.
Next morning coffee maker didn’t work.
Competent and friendly check n representatives. Beautiful pool. Delicious breakfast.

Hot tub is down very nice hotel but that’s whole reason we stayed there was for the hot tub plus it says nothing about a deposit its$100. Couldn’t get a refund was on hold with virtual agent for couple hours and no one came back was connected once
We took a whole gaggle of middle school girls (a Girl Scout Troop) and the staff was remarkably tolerant of our shenanigans. They were polite and friendly to us and to our girls. We needed to set up "camp" in the breakfast nook to eat pizza and they offered us plates and napkins. They didn't have to do that. The pool and hot tub were clean and perfect after a day of city exploring. If you're traveling with kids of any age it's great - a little slide, buckets that dump water, and the pool gets deep enough to play mermaid. The hot tub was great for us olds. Beds were comfortable, showers were hot, and the breakfast spread was generous and the celiac among us even found things to eat.
The property was fine. Wish there had been more options for the breakfast. Like turkey options. My family and I don’t eat pork so that was all bad for us. We planned on eating before going to the zoo. Breakfast there would have held us over. Unfortunately we ended up buying food at the zoo.
