Stayed 1 night

Bad experience. The first room they put me in had a broken AC. Front desk didn’t believe me. They checked and put me in a second room that smelled like cleaning chemicals. I asked to try another room she said she would rather refund me but it was late at night I insisted on trying another room. The last room she put me in was dirty and she had to bring me towels because the room didn’t have them. The bed was indented in the middle I had to sleep on the edge where it was firm . Pillows were yellow and black and the sheets didn’t smell clean. The microwave is from the 80s or something and smelled weird and toxic and didn’t work when I turned it on. I had to go to the front desk and they were rude and said they were doing me a favor by letting me use anotjer broken microwave that didn’t rotate in another room. The pool and jacuzzi were not open for use and had no water in either. On top of being a terrible place to stay, the staff were awful and lazy too. The only good thing was that there was enough parking.

Stayed 2 nights

The hotel was nice. When we got there, check in was easy. The staff members were nice, I checked in late so I only spoke with one person, and during check out the manager or employee was attentive even though she was having to do other work. The room was clean and neat. I was pleasantly surprised by the space in the room. Parking is easy cause the its a small lot. Definitey part of my list as far as hotels to stay in while in the area.
