While the place seems to have a decent pool facility, we have never used it. The halls give a feel of a poorly lit college dorm. The room was ok, but the TV did not work for more than about 5 seconds at a time. I called the front desk, but they said the dish was probably out. The staff reported that they tried to wiggle the dish a few times, but it did not help. I would have expected that a hotel would try to make some effort to adjust the price for the stay, but nothing of that sort happened.

They made arrangements for my check in and check out with no hassle or issues. I love when I am able to get accommodated when it comes to my kiddos. The only thing I would have liked to know upfront would be that the pool was having issues with the heater. Also if someone would have stayed on the towels more. I had to call and ask for towels once I got out of the pool.

We were only there to sleep, so did not use the other amenities. Room condition was okay. The bathroom was pretty run down with rust visible on the vanity. The pictures look much better online! The bed was comfortable, so that’s a plus.

Bathtub had rust stains, when turning on the tub faucet the water came out red rust colored. Had to let it run for a few minutes then shut off and rinse the tub before showering. The splash zone area was not staffed with adults, only young kids handing out towels. Area is open to public so i feel an adult should be responsible. The pool was frigid, too cold to enjoy a swim.

We were there for a soccer tournament and had stayed there several years ago and it was fine so thought it would be ok. It was not. One of the people in our group had mold in their bathroom and had tj switch rooms, had asked for extra towels and pillows before check in but then had to go back and get them, our tv and refrigerator never worked the entire weekend, the room was dirty-and im not talking in like hidden places. There is no way a vacuum was ran thru that room before we entered, there was debris all over the carpet including some Cheerios under the table. Anither person in our group had to change rooms twice, once because when they went to take a shower the water wouldnt turn off and inly the hot would work and then because theor refrigerator didnt work either but they needed it as they had refrigerated items. I didnt say anything about the uncleanliness of our room as other complaints werent handled very well-the ones that received new rooms had to insist on them. Also asked for an extre key as only given 1 at check in and was told no. I forgot to take pics so none to attach---will NOT RECOMMEND to anyone. Several of us asked for a discount for the unsatisfactory shape of hotel and all discount requests were flat out refused by the manager.

Where do I start...the numerous "temporarily out of order" signs on almost everything. The pool was cold. They say the heater went out. I wouldn't expect it to be fixed soon since everything else seems to be broken as well. The bottom of the hotub was sandy and grimy. The walls and bedding had stains, our bathroom toilet wouldn't flush properly, our mini fridge smelled up the room when we opened it, the tv channels were frozen even when they "rebooted" the system, and there was no service/wifi in our room. I asked for another room and all I received was excuses. I will never stay here again.
