This was our last hotel on our way home from a long trip. We loved having access through our “back door” into the covered atrium. Although I have mobility issues, I was able to get into and out of the pool by myself. The breakfast was amazing, and the food was plentiful. Fresh tortillas, “real oatmeal” (not dry packages), etc. we also had a very nice dinner. Can’t say enough good things. I’m sure this a renovation of an old hotel, but it was perfect for us! Extra points for the Keurig style coffee pot!

Great place for a quick stop. The interior was kind of retro and cool. The indoor pool was fun! There is an old lingering smoke smell in some areas, but not in our rooms which we appreciated. Would definitely stay here again if in the area for longer.

Disliked: Staff & service

a mess

One of the desk clerks was worthless, but the other was able to cancel a double booking which was not my doing. The HC rooms were far from the front desk. At this point in time, all rooms should be universal design (meaning grab bars at the toilet and in the shower/bath at the very least) - this needs to be addressed by all hotels! The desk clerks failed to inform us there was two entrances to our room which meant we could park close to our room. The staff at this hotel needs orientation training!
