The staff was friendly and quick, the establishment was clean. The pool was inoperable due to children putting toilet paper in the pool. The hot tub was open so that was enjoyable. I asked for a late checkout and they were kind to extend my checkout by 1 hour. Overall I enjoyed my stay.

The biggest problem my family had was that we arrived to the hotel and was told they over booked and they would give us our money back and told us to find a room somewhere else. We were then told that we could not get money from them because we ordered through Expedia and we needed to contact Expedia. The management felt that telling us to basically go on our way without any compensation or attempt to rectify the problem. Actually, the manager refused to come out and talk to us about the situation. When the desk help returned, they had a lower priced room available. However when we checked out, the manager was need to tell me the exact price of my room. Apparently I will be contacted in a couple days. I’ve never had such a situation when traveling. I will never stay at this hotel again.
