The front desk clerk was very nice, the fact that they have 2 pools and 2 hot tubs and a sauna made the visit that much more enjoyable. 1 set is for family and the other is 18+. We made it to the pool before it closed so there weren't many towels stocked in the adult pool area, not bad, but I brought my towel with anyway so it wasn't an inconvenience really. A water dispenser with cups was near the pool so that was really nice. Actually it was right outside the sauna. The halls were clean going to and from. The elivator in the middle of building 3 had an off smell. The room we had was on the second floor facing the parking lot, and it was attached to what looked like the storage building. Not the best view, so if you get a premium king room ask to not be put into 2204 if you want a decent view. If you want an extra robe for your date/other half/partner/roomie ask when you get there, otherwise housekeeping won't be there to give you one. Over all, I would say it was a nice experience, and for the price it was way worth the stay. If you have time to book ahead, make sure you do and ask for a waterfront room so you get the best of it all. Self parking is an extra fee, kinda wierd. There is also parking right outside on the street if you don't want to pay for parking. I would say it's safer to park in the parking lot though as its very well lit. The free parking is on the dirt and there's generally lots of cars put there so it means possibly lots of foot traffic. We also passed 3 police on the way in so it's well patrolled. We even got a little lost and I made an illegal u turn and was followed by one, but he didn't pull me over, so I got a free escort to my hotel! :)
