I was surprised at how poorly this property turned out. The road noise is horrific and woke me several times. I was told there are a lot of people that cruise the 66 and have no muffler. The curtains in the room are not blackout and lots of light start coming in at 5:30 AM. There were no extra bath towels available and no pool towels. The staff were very nice but they were obviously short handed on Sunday. The pool was absolutely filthy. There was so much dirt in the pool as well as leaves and an umbrella. The tile grout was flaking off in spots. Not a big deal but the property looks worn. The place was running on fumes on a Sunday. I found a pube hair on the sheets but I just brushed it off. It was late an I needed to sleep. But overall I think this property does not care if you sleep well. How do they not have ear plugs or noise machines or both and no blackout curtains? The curtains are darkening but not blackout.

This hotel has been beautifully renovated, is clean, quiet, and has a lovely pool area. Unfortunately the pool is unheated and was freezing cold, which was disappointing for my kids. We were kind of put off by the front desk staff. She was not present when we checked in; there was no one anywhere around to check us in. We waited a long time before she finally came back to work, and even then she seemed confused and her appearance was very disheveled. Once we were checked in, we really enjoyed our room. Thankfully we didn't need any more help from the staff, because we might not have been able to find them.
