To be fair, it is onvient to fast food and Trader Joes. However, the place looks nothing like the pictures. Half the rooms are blocked off with chain link fence for what looks like construction but there were no workers or equipment present. The pool was half way thru what appears the be a relining but no workers or equipment anywhere to be seen here either. The room we received was straight out of the 70's complete with all the wear and tear on every piece of furniture to prove it. Leaking shower with chipped/cracked tiles and he toilet seat had most of the finish sanded off on all edges to confirm the advanced age of this facility. If you're a horror movie fan, this hotel is straight out of central casting .

Horrible place. Half of it was blocked off! The elevators didn't work. The room stuck so bad we left immediately. And the pool was not like the pictures showed it was empty and disgusting. I'm trying to get a refund and hotels.com is making me wait until the hotel refunds me! I can send photos. I've never been more disgusted. Please make this right and do not rent a room here

The room was clean, but smelled like bleach, the front desk staff was friendly, housekeeping was friendly. I didn't eat breakfast there. I liked my stay but I guess I didn't read the fine print because even though I paid in advance for my room, I had to pay a $100 deposit when I got there. The pool is closed and the pictures online fooled me!!

The room was clean and big. You could tell it was a little bit old, but everything worked fine. A/c worked great and water pressure was great. Had to use the stairs to go upstairs so that’s fine as long as you’re able to go up and down stairs. The café had very good food for breakfast. And reasonably priced. The young man at check-in was very helpful and polite. It was a little noisy with the major road close by but the AC helped to drown that out and I slept great.

We checked in and found that the advertised pool was drained and under instruction. There was mildew in the mini fridge. The sheets were so thin that you could see the print on the mattress underneath. Despite 2 travelers, there was only one towel to be found in the outdated bathroom. I do NOT recommended if you want comfort and any place to sit other than your room.

Disliked: Amenities
Extremely Disappointing Stay: Poor Communication and Major Safety Concerns This hotel was a major letdown and felt more like an outdated motel experience than a full-service hotel. Had we known the true state of the facility and its amenities, we would have chosen a different location entirely. The issues began before arrival. Two days prior to our scheduled stay, at 3 PM on November 4th, we received a single email notification stating that the pool was closed for maintenance. This critical, last-minute amenity closure should have been communicated much sooner. The room itself was located outside the main "hotel" building. This isolated location compounded the immediate security concerns we had about the door. The room door was remarkably thin and was loose in its frame, providing virtually no sense of security. My wife felt extremely unsafe due to the condition of the door and the outdated nature of this exterior room location. Overall, we were very disappointed with the quality, maintenance, and communication from this property. The lack of a functional pool and the serious safety issues with the room made this a very regrettable choice.
