Based on the reviews and photos I had very high expectations of this location. It definitely did not hold up to them. Walking my family to our room we had to walk through clouds of smoke from others smoking grass. The room itself was clean, it was mainly the outside of the rooms that were an issue for me. The only staff we came into contact with was the front desk and they were very kind and professional.

Probably my last stay there

The hotel seem to be clean, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our room was on the first floor. There was an issue with our toilet. It would not flush, there was no one to fix it so they moved us to the second floor. There was no one to help us move which was difficult for us and we had to move our suitcases upstairs. And that toilet barely flushed for us but it made it the couple days we were there. The AC seem to have trouble keeping the room cool.

Room was very damp and most likely had mold. Shower curtain needs to be longer as it did not reach the tub and water gets all over the floor. Online photos are old, the hotel does not look the that. Hotel needs a complete overhaul. Again staff was very nice

Charged damage fee

We spend approximately $130,000 annually on hotels due to frequent employee travel, and we’ve never encountered a situation like this. This property charged us a $300 fee for what they claimed was a “horrible mess” left in two rooms. When we requested photo evidence to address the issue with our team, the only image provided was of a single dirty towel—hardly justification for such a charge. If you’re going to assess a damage fee, thorough documentation should be standard. We do not recommend this hotel and will not be staying here again.

I stayed a week at the property and it was a great experience. Staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was convenient and good for going off to work early in the morning. Convenient location to dining and where I needed to go. Also, the laundry area was well worth it too. I would definitely stay again
