6.6/10
While the hotel had a nice creek-side view and the pool area was well-kept, my overall experience was overshadowed by cleanliness issues in my room and maintenance problems. The dining options could improve, but the staff was accommodating throughout my stay. Prices were reasonable, but I expected a better quality for what I paid.
Rooms
5.0
The room had a pleasant creek-side view, but I encountered some cleanliness issues including ants and a piece of gum under the fitted sheet. The overall atmosphere was affected by a chemical odor, which wasn't ideal.
Service
7.0
The staff was helpful, accommodating my late check-in, but I wish they had been more proactive in addressing housekeeping issues.
Location

Dining

Facilities

The pool area was well-maintained and a nice area to relax, but the overall facilities felt a bit dated.
