Picked this hotel for the indoor pool. Spending the weekend for family events and wanted the pool for my grandson to have as an option for use . When we arrived we learned the pool was closed. Absolutely NO notification on website. We would NOT have stayed there if we knew pool was not in service. POOR business practices.

First room I checked into had stained sheets. The way the bed was made, room service 100% saw the stain and still made the bed with them. They moved my room, and did not put it in the system that they changed my room because a man walked in while I was in bed because they double assigned it. Management comped me a night, but this is still dangerous as a solo female traveler. While the room was overall clean, there was a hair in my bathtub and on the toilet. The gym was a treadmill that has to have been broken for months, one elliptical, and miscellaneous mismatched weights with no bench. No wonder they allow guests to use Fitness 19 around the corner for free. The omelets for breakfast were powdered eggs and flavorless. No waffle maker; only a pancake maker that made half-cooked pancakes. Zaman Grill is a nice restaurant in the area, for lunch/dinner, five minutes away.

I would like to complain about cold water !!!! Especially after boys came back to the hotel after all day spend on the windy, cold weather while playing soccer tournament down there . Also around 4 Am we had a false fire alarm everyone went outside and after they told us it’s a false alarm they couldn’t turn off the fire noise for a longggggggg time . Ridiculous!

The bathroom upon arrival was disgusting. I kindly requested it be re-cleaned in which i was “promised” it would be but it never was. Instead, we were moved to another room… The ice machine on our floor did not work and there was no effort in repairing it (we were here for a week). One of the washing machine for guest use was out of service and after having a conversation with another guest who had been there 3 weeks prior… she said it was broken then too… so again no effort put forth for repair. The pool was digesting and out of service for the first several days we were there… stains on the hallway carpets, the AC in our room was loud and horrible! We had to keep it at 61 degrees just to feel “comfortable”. We will never stay here again….

Overall, our stay was average. However, it could have been exceptional had the rooms been properly cleaned and looked after maintenence-wise. First, the positives, every interaction I had with hotel staff was fabulous. Front desk personnel were so helpful and addressed concerns in a timely manner. Next the negatives, our room was not clean upon our arrival. I could feel grit on bathroom countertops, there was dust over all the furnture, and ourbwindow shade and sheer panel were a hot mess. The sheer panel bottom was coming apart and the wooden bottom was barely hanging to the rest of the panel. The blind itself had holes all over the right side. There was bits of paper and some kind of feathers all over the floor and stayed there until after our 3rd night. It also doesn't appear the toilet ever was cleaned. I also discovered a non working room phone. The hotel lobby itself was really nice and the breakfasts were pretty good considering they need to feed a large amount of folks.

Staff were professional. The rooms were clean. I do like how they have the liquid products instead of bars. Ice machine on our floor was down and its normal, but i wish they would be the place to not follow the norm and have a working machine. Otherwise I was comfortable and would return.

If you can find it, this isn’t a bad place to stay. The entrance is the worst part of this hotel. Finding how to get into it is a challenge as the signs are tiny and it is back behind a gas station. The property wasn’t bad but needs a good cleaning. The staff was good and the check in was relatively quick. The beds need to be replaced as both had drop offs as you got to the edge as if they had been used a lot. USB charging ports were available bedside but didn’t work. All in all, for the money, I expected a better experience.

To make it worse I booked a king suite n ended up in a double suite n fell out the bed. Won't be a guest here ever again. Wil front desk manager was nice but nothing could correct that issue. Also Damage to bathroom door. And no TV in living room steam omg

To check me in, it took the receptionist over 15 minutes with no explanation why! When I got to my room it was under plumbing service. No other king bed room was available, I was given a two queen just above the kitchen, smelling sausages in the morning wasn’t my best morning! Accessing wifi wasn’t explained that the last name and room number option does not work. Room phone was down, I was told it may take few days to repair. Breakfast was good for an express hotel. Room and facilities are clean
