Just Okay, Nothing Special

acceptable locationbroken treadmillmalfunctioning air conditioning
The hotel's location close to the parks was acceptable.
The gym was missing essential equipment. The treadmill I tried to use was broken and out of service, a real letdown. the air conditioning in the room barely worked. It struggled to keep the room cool, and I found myself adjusting it constantly, not a real solution

Lovely Stay Near the Parks

cheerful employeesclean roomnice lobbyenjoyable pool
I have visited many times since 2017. The employees appear cheerful and are ready to assist. The rooms remain clean with good smell. The lobby looks great with a nice clean. I enjoyed the pool area.
The room walls looked a bit dark with a burgundy color. This made the room a bit darker than I prefer.
