This hotel is fine for anyone on a tight budget. It is a good price but the food. alcohol and rooms are subpar. Parts of the hotel didn't seem clean like the gym and I think it needs to be remodeled in some areas.
The steak house was good. The spanish and italian restaurants were just ok.
Staff were very great! Place is clean! Food is good! Didn't get to try the restaurant but buffet was good!. I was with my husband and my daughter shes almost 2 years old and she really enjoyed the time being there, we all did! Everybody was nice and helpful. Just a heads up its a lot of walking lol.
