This hotel looks so nice and the employees were nice, but the hotel itself was a disappointment. Our room had no shampoo or body soap, only to find out they were broken. the weight room didnt work and was so tiny and hot no one would want to be in there anyways. the hot tub was shut down and you had to ask for more than 2 towels in a 2 bed queen room. They locked me out of my own room at 2 points in this stay and i had to go ask them to reset my key to get in. they were doing some mechanical work and that man was very rude and in the way during his "work" of the hotel hallway. very disappointed but the korean hot pot across the road was nice.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!

Not enough powers outlets. Everything is plugged into two power outlets. Not safe, and I’m pretty sure it’s against the law. No power outlet at the desk to plug in a laptop. Told the front desk and they couldn’t fix it. Had to move furniture around myself just to be able to plug in my laptop so I could work. Bathroom was dirty, and shower/tub is stained and disgusting! Do not recommend at all! I will never stay here again! This should be like a $40 night hotel! It’s awful!!

Never again!! We requested fist floor at time of reservation as we are both handicapped. Jessica was extremely rude at check in, apparently because we used Expedia. There were only a a few cars at the entire property. She told us that it was completely full and gave us the absolute furthest room in the entire hotel. Room was not very clean, electrical sockets didn’t work, bed was the worst…don’t recommend

Room was Ok. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. Furniture was worn. Shower Curtain rod was not working well but plenty of hot water and shower head had plenty of pressure. Burnt out bulb in bathroom. Towels replaced most days but bed not made. Breakfast was nothing special. Same everyday. No orange juice. Items that ran out were not replaced in timely manner making choices even more limited.
