"Thank you for a early check-in but the refrigerator was not cleaned out the rest of the room was cleaned. I called at 0630 am to ask to see if we could get early check in. I was told no because they were full booked because of the holiday weekend. Once arrived at hotel found out that it was a waiting list that the person who answered at 6:30am could of put me on. Yes we did get a room early by 1230. Pool looked nice and clean could go was on a time crunch. Breakfast was great cleaning in the dining area was great. The woman that assisted us on 7/3/2026 at 0930 was very helpful and she really went above and beyond."

10/10 Excellent

"Lamentablemente, mi experiencia con el cantinero en el hotel no fue buena. Le pedí la carta de tragos para poder elegir, y en vez de darme opciones, solo me dijo qué trago quería, sin darme la oportunidad de ver el menú. Me sentí bastante apurada y poco atendida.”"
