I’ve stayed at this hotel several times and I can honestly say I could tell it was under new management ! I stayed in an accessible room only thing I didn’t like was the toilet paper sitting on the back of the toilet which is the same height as the toilet seat !

The outside of the hotel is extremely run down and lacking in curb appeal. The inside isn’t any better. The room had a 1” gap under the dented beat up door allowing any and all noise to sound like it was right inside your room. You can hear every noise coming from the pool and the air hockey table. It did quiet down by 10pm each night, but I would never stay here again

Bug bites

I got bit up! I had large welts all over my body 5-6 in total. One was so big i think it was 2 right next to each other. The place looks clean but i am pretty sure these were bed bugs. Room one zero eight was the one i stayed in. It took a week before they subsided and i pray we didn't get them in the luggage.

The weather was chilly so I attempted to turn the heat on. All that blew out was cool air as if the air conditioner was on. I called the front desk and the young lady informed me that this is a old hotel and they could either have the heat functioning or the air conditioning function. She's uninformed me seeing that the weather had been warm the previous week that they turned the heat off and switched it on to air conditioning. She said she could bring me a space heater. However, I have severe asthma and space heaters will aggravate it. I asked to talk to the manager and was informed the same thing. Explain that I needed to check out because it's space heater would not work due to my asthma and I wanted a refund. The manager was very rude absolutely refused and said I can't do that you don't get a refund. Immediately packed up to leave went to the front desk and asked for a receipt that I had checked out and they refused. Please stay away from this hotel you do not want to stay there!!!

After closing the curtain on the pointless window that looked into the dark hallway…I noticed it was covered in blood stains. There was a huge gap under the main door which also is not only unsafe but pretty sure a fire hazard. I see the attempt at some upgrades, bathroom tile etc…but they really should have paid for someone professional to do it as I’m sure a better job could have been done!

It was quiet & dark as I picked the updated king room specifically noted for being quiet. The bed was comfortable, but the room smelled constantly of sulfur/eggs/cigarette smoke. As someone who doesn’t smoke, I really noticed it. Like people smoking next door. I slept with a shirt over my face to mask the smell. Luckily I only needed the room to sleep.

I stayed in a king room in the “dome”/pool area. It’s was very hot and stuffy and was quite loud (ice machine right outside the door. The bathroom is tiny and has no fan. The chair in the room was stained, as were most in the common areas. The back door didn’t work with the key card. Breakfast was ok. Sheets were clean. Staff was kind and helpful.

The positive first. The staff was great! Very responsive and helpful when asked for assistance. The breakfast was good and the beds were comfortable. Negative is the riff raff around the facility and the room size. Room was incredibly small. The worst was the fact there was a very impaired woman in the lobby. I was unsure of her impairment until she dropped a crack pipe in front of me in the lobby. Also, I know it was graduation weekend but not worth the $400 for one night I would not recommend this hotel until they get the unwelcome traffic under control.
