Other residents let you down

The entrance lobby was bright and welcoming, and the young lady on reception (8/4/25) was pleasant and welcoming. The room was nice and clean although walls are paper thin and air con is quite loud but the swimming pool needs some attention. The sign says shower before entering, but the shower didn't work. The paint is flaking off the pool, and the cloudy water didn't make for a great experience. Overall, a pleasant stay, however, the thing that spoiled it was, despite being a no smoking hotel, the stench of weed in the hotel corridors and particularly from one room. We mentioned this on check out and were told that although it's a no smoking hotel, sometimes guests break the rules. Shocked by the response and the fact that staff seemed neither surprised, concerned, or willing to deal with the issue. Perhaps the occupant was a long-term hotel resident, but they are spoiling your other good hotel.

Not worth $135

Our non-smoking room reeked of cigarettes upon entry to the room. Pool was supposed to open at 7 am. Door was locked, so I asked for it to be opened. Checked 10 minutes later, asked again. Checked again 15 minutes later then gave up. Stayed in room 182 but initially couldn't get a replacement key because the computer had me as in a different room. Took some convincing before I was issued a key. Staff was friendly but I wouldn't stay here again.

It was an easy check in. Property is awful. Dirty, smelly, worn out. Beds are terribly hard. The woman who checked us in didn’t ask for an ID, so I could’ve been anyone. An unbecoming property.

A clean room in an outdated property

We checked in at 10:00 PM right after my brother-in-law, who has the same last name. the staff checking us in didn’t check anyone’s names and got our rooms mixed up, giving me a room with one king bed when I had four people standing right in front of her. I called the front desk before realizing that my BIL had gotten our room (he requested a king but was given two queens). So I called the front desk again to say that we figured it out and we switched rooms. Then at 11:30 PM the front desk called and woke up my entire family, to ask what room my brother in law was in. Ummm, hello??? He’s in the other room, the one that you wrongly gave me. Ridiculous. The property is very outdated. Breakfast was adequate with waffles and lots of juice, but very dry eggs. For the price it was acceptable as there are no great options in the area, but I am still miffed that the front desk gave us the wrong rooms and then woke us up after we told them that we took care of it ourselves.

No attention to some important details

The condition of the room was terrible. While the housekeeping service had done its best, the room was mildew ridden, areas of the carpet were damp and the odor dank. Other than its convenience to the highway there wasn't anything worth going back for.
