Just had a little hiccup with the checking in. Room wasn't ready by check-in time but we understand the reason, it was a busy weekend. Other than that, staff was very helpful and friendly, room is spacious and modern. I would stay here again.

The rooms are clean, the staff is friendly, and while we didn’t get a chance to use the pool and hot tub, it looked like other people really enjoyed. The continental breakfast isn’t much, but if it’s included with your room, it’s worth going down just to have a cup of coffee and a muffin.

We were given a renovated room, but the only thing renovated was the bathroom and the carpeting. Old furniture, scratches and marks on walls and doors, windows were old and foggy. When you pull up to the hotel, the first thing you see is old curtains across a long set of windows. Not a good first impression!

Room wasn’t ready at 5:00pm after long day of racing outside. No attempt to rectify. Made to pre pay 250 deposit and await room check before check out. Given coupons for breakfast but room key didn’t work and different staff told us we didn’t have breakfast access. No decaf coffee options.

Ok

Hotel is a reasonable. The room was facing the pool and the heat and humidity of it forces you to run the air conditioning full time. Unfortunately, the air conditioner is very loud. I slept with ear plugs and still found it noisy to sleep. Other than that, it is okay.
