Ill start by saying the staff was very kind and did their best to be helpful. Probably the nicest staff I've ever seen at a hotel. Right down to the woman manning the breakfast area and the cleaning crew. Excellent. I do think the staff is spread thin and could use some extra help. That said, we booked this hotel for the pool. Paid the extra money this hotel charges because they advertised a pool. The pool was not operational. It was downright dirty and didn't look like anyone was even trying to make it operational. My other complaint is the towel situations. There was no towels in our room when we arrived so we asked and received towels with lipstick on them. The rooms themselves were very clean and felt comfortable. We had, also, saved up cash to go on our trip in a jar all year, and decided to use cash on our trip. We don't like using cards, we don't own credit cards and picked the option to pay when we got there on Orbitz for this reason. This hotel does not take cash at all. We worked it out, but I don't like being forced to use credit/debit cards. Just a preference that you might want to be aware of when you go.
