The property is extremely run down, the pool was green, the exterior definitely shows lack of maintenance,and there was food on the floor in our room from previous guest.

My son is huge on pools, if it's cold I refuse to get in, this pool was comfortable and warm! Hot tub was working and felt even better!

We do not believe that our room received adequate housekeeping services. There were M&M's on the floor, and we were not provided with shampoo or soap. I had to request these essential items from the staff. On a positive note, the bed was extremely comfortable. However, the hot tub requires repainting, as the current paint is peeling off. Unfortunately, the swimming pool was in poor condition, with cloudy and opaque water that made it unusable. We were pleased to find that the staff was very helpful and pleasant.

The hotel was very standard, not terrible but not great. The room was clean. The pool looked very dirty and the water was discolored.

Pool was very dirty and yellow: Recommend to go elsewhere. We called ahead to confirm the pool was open, clean and functional. Were told yes, the pool is very nice. When arrived, I checked the pool and found is was so dirty you could not see the bottom and the water color was yellow. Pointed this out to the front desk. They were going to shock clean it. Checked it the next day and looked worse. We requested a discount and told this would most likely not happen, as the pool is an extra accessory to the room stay. I was to call the manager Linda on Monday. Called a few times, leaving messages. No call back or response of any form. That said, the room itself was clean and nice. Breakfast was average but could have used some fruit to add to all the breads. Based on the other reviews, there will probably be some apologies for the issues and a let me make it right. However, this is all after the fact. Should have be handled properly at the time.

For a one night stay the room was manageable but the cleanliness needs improvement (coming from a fellow cleaner). There was a dirty qtip left behind the door, liquids left on the bathroom walls that dripped down, there were mounds of dust on top of the coffee maker, the provided soap dispensers had build up on it and weren’t cleaned in some time. Also to mention the crazy amount of built up dust under the tv in the breakfast eating area. It is right above the food stations so that should for sure be taken care of.

We moved the sofa closer to the TV to see better, there was trash and chewed gum under it. There was some chunks of something in the hot tub. The bed was super comfortable, everyone was friendly. There was good and bad. I appreciate that my curtains actually closed completely and blocked out light for good sleep.

Hotel was fine overall - in good condition, clean enough, friendly staff. There is no elevator..... I knew this before booking and considering my husband and I don't need one, I didn't consider this an issue. Until I received the room under the staircase. Every single person going up and down sounded like a herd of elephants. Also, we booked a jacuzzi room. It was directly next to the pool room. So our romantic weekend was spent with kids screaming outside our door at 7am and listening to every Tom, Dick, and Harry go up and down the stairs. Really poor set up. I won't be using this hotel again.

Staff was friendly, walls are thin, king bed was excellent, AC unit in the room was great, bathrooms need some updating/maintenance (it looked like our ceiling had a leak at some point, tub floor was cracked). Breakfast selection pretty limited. Vending machine was partially broken so it only took cash. Definitely felt like we overpaid for our stay a bit.

The lady working was very nice. the hotel was clean and quiet. There was a problem with my bill and apparently Expedia shorted them for a city tax fee which I had to pay when I got to the hotel. In my opinion, I should not have had to pay that and that Cost should’ve been absorbed by Expedia as it was their mistake. Nonetheless, I paid the bill will probably avoid Expedia in the future.

The room was dirty, trash under a chair, floors was really sandy. Dirty tub, blood on the shower curtain. Drain plugged. I puked a huge hair ball out of it. Heater made noise. The pool water was green. We did NOT have good hot water in the sink or shower both nights. Went to the front desk one night and the girl LEFT the property and came back 20 min later. Left the hotel unattended. It was a total WAIST of money. I have photos to back this up. It's not letting me add them to this.

The clerk at the front desk when I checked in didn't know what the s*** she was doing and had no idea where my room was she told me the opposite end of the building from where my room really was she was the dumbest clerk I've ever seen how she has a job I'll never know
