Four Points by Sheraton Saginaw
Outdoor pool looks like it's getting taken out (covered in sand). But, it's April in Michigan, did not expect it to open. Small issue with our first room(smelled like cigarettes and commode was not clean), staff changed us to a different room right away. Lobby was very clean
