David is a great help with getting checked in, creating an airport shuttle time, and registering for the park and fly. The hotel is clean, updated, and free of pot smoke.

This hotel should be reported for false advertisement. There rooms do not look the same as the photos they use online. The room they put us in had a stained bed board, garbage disposal did not work and had a hole in the ceiling. Not only that, but anytime I would call the front desk for bed sheets or trash bags they would complain about the housekeeping staff and would ask me to come to the front desk- instead of just running up the item. Which is extremely difficult to do with two large dogs and a baby. I am extremely disappointed- my husband is an IHG diamond member and will never be coming back here again.
I’m beyond disappointed with how the staff treated us during our stay and how unaccommodating they are to young families. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!

This is a nice Hotel. The carpet is showing wear but otherwise this is well run and a quiet pleasant place to stay. They have a shuttle to the airport, snack center, pool, laundry for guest and most any amenity needed. Mikki at the front desk is awesome 👍
