The staff was great, exceptional. Having said that, the choice of your hotel was made because of the pool and hot tub. On the day of arrival, as we were driving, I called to advise our arrival would be later than expected. In addition, we asked the hours the pool would be open. At 71, with in injured shoulder and a need to excercise regularly, the pool was important. As we drove, I learned the pool was closed, and without a computer to make new reservations while driving...there wasn't much I could do. The young lady responding to my questions offered to cancel or upgrade out room. We upgraded . Upon arrival and checking in late, couldn't get in the room and to find with the help of Randall, the door lock had been installed upside downwards. We spent the first night. The second night my wife wasn't feeling well and as I watched tv heard air around the window. It was then I discovered the latch on the sliding window had the striker plate damaged and under no circumstances could the window be secured. We were on the second floor, but adjacent the first floor roof. So anyone on the first floor roof would be able to enter our room. Randall to the rescue, he offered to change rooms, but with my wife resting, the late hour and travel provisions I had in place, we declined. I think you should spend more time on the building details so the good help you have wouldn't be bailing you out so often. The was great. Randall was great. Would chance again in the future. .

First, let us apologize for the inconvenience of the pool being closed. Unfortunately, we had to repaint the pool due to it being in poor condition. Secondly, we've informed higher management about the maintenance issue to ensure that it never happens again. Again we apologize for the inconvenience and hope that you give us another chance. If you have other issues please be sure to reach back out

The check in desk employees were prompt and helpful. The location is convenient. The front entrance and grounds were dirty as were the hallway carpets and elevator. the room was satisfactory but towels were not refreshed for a two day stay.

We couldn’t stay the night is was so awful. They gave us wrist band to use for the pool which tells me they must has an issue with non-guest using the pool. The room was dirty with carpet stains. All the smoke detectors were ripped out in our room. There was just wiring where they had once been. Do not stay here!!!

I'm very sorry that you did not like our hotel. With regards to the wrist bands for the pool, this was an idea from our owners to keep track of how many people are entering the pool at any given time to ensure we are not going over the maximum capacity for the pool. I am checking all of our notes with regard to the smoke detectors and myself and the upper management will be looking into this situation.

This hotel had a lot of potential but falls just short of being a great place. The room was fairly clean, but some areas of the property were just gross, specifically the railing on the stairs, elevator buttons and sticky floors outside of the elevator where you could see that a trash bag was drug across. Also, this hotel WILL charge your card $50. Better to have that extra in your account that you will not be able to access until the cancellation goes through, could be several days. My reservation was mixed up with another guest so I was charged their room fees, even though I had already plain in full online. I'm still waiting for a refund for that as well as for a canceled room reservation. Basically I was charged for 3 rooms and the room I got was not what I paid for. I reserved a 2 full bed suite, thinking it would be enough for 5 of us since that's what travelocity app indicated, but I was given a 1 bed suite that sleeps 4 adults using the sofa sleeper. Overall, the hotel was mediocre and my intrractions with travelocity customer service is horrible. I am less than pleased.

Dear Linda, Please allow me to apologize for any cleanliness issues you had during your stay in regards to the public areas. We will be sure to use better care in those departments in the future. As far as the $50 incidentals hold, this is a standard practice for most hotels to safeguard against any property damage and smoking. We apologize whole heartedly and would like an opportunity to make amends in the future if you ever come through the area.

The staff at check in was not welcoming. She seemed bothered by our arrival. We checked in after midnight and were the only ones in the lobby.
