While clean, the property did show its age. The unique feature was the swimming in the LOBBY. I asked the front desk clerk about it. Apparently it’s a hold over from when it was built in the early 1980’s. After that, laws were passed requiring the pools behind walls. As cool as it was to see a swimming pool in the lobby, it does affect your stay. The whole hotel smells like chlorine and is warm and humid. In your room, you can alter the temp, but you hear the echos from the people playing in the pool. They have strict pool hours to limit the noise, however. Overall, it was fine…clean, comfortable beds, etc. Breakfast was typical of this style of hotel. So you be the judge of that.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities

Very disappointing.

Hotel location is great, but property is very run-down, dark and dingy. Most importantly, don't indicate that the pool is actually in the middle of the lobby and there is no escape from the chlorine fumes that invade every space, including the room. We had a constant headache entire time due to that. Also no escape from the noise related to children/others using the pool.
