Needs some work

Dirty older hotel in desperate need of upgrades. Only one elevator works and sounds like you’re about to plummet to your death. Shower had mold on ceiling, probably from lack of bathroom fan. Holes patched all over room and bathroom door. Came to expect the smell of marijuana our entire stay.

Could have been better could have been worse.

There was no food options at the hotel itself. The beds worn down and the mattress toppers were falling off of the beds. When we got there, the sliding glass door was open, and there were hairs on the towels. The hotel constantly smelled of weed and the elevator seem like it was going to break down every time we got in it.

One night stay, and one night only

My husband found a giant roach in the process of dying in the bathtub right before we went to bed. There were also inappropriate stickers on the side of the bathroom sink. The toilet was crooked and the lid slid everytime you sat down. The room did not smell clean, and there are cigarette buds everywhere. It’s a pet friendly hotel, but it’s hard to find a place to take them potty because of all the trash on the ground. We came home and immediately washed everything, including the dog. Some of the positives were the old school air conditioner definitely kept the room cold, the water pressure was good, and the lady at the front desk was super friendly. We will not stay again.

Joanna at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. Bed was comfortable. AC worked! Hotel has been refurbished several times, apparently, and is on need of some more work - it looks a little tired. But it was fine for just sleeping and moving on.
