Great place to stay. Great Pool and Hot tub, However the flooring by the pool/Hot tub was very slippery. My suggestion don't use the tile that is in there but a pool side rougher material. So you do not end up with a lawsuit from someone slipping. Other than that, we really were pleased with our stay.

Key cards weren't working, had to be escorted to our room by security. Had to keep someone in the room during trips outside or around the property, otherwise we'd have to wait for security to bring us to our room again. No free continental breakfast, not sure why I'd pay $14.95 for a mediocre hotel breakfast. Soundproofing between rooms was lacking as we could hear what sounded like normal conversations at normal talking volume from the room next door. It only stopped being noticable when the loud A/C unit was running. The A/C unit was loud enough to wake up everyone in the room a half dozen times or so throughout the night. Room was average to slightly above average otherwise, and front desk staff was friendly.
