We didn’t even stay the night, we left 30 minutes after arriving because of room bathroom was still dirty with hairs on the tub and what looked like blood on the shower curtain. Area walking into pool had cockroaches running around, with one even being dead on the floor in the lobby

Easy to find. Parking was limited, but we had no problems. When we arrived at 7 pm, there was a long line and no one was at the front desk. We had to wait for 20 minutes before someone came to the front desk. The hotel itself was an old building and designed small. The rooms were small, and the furniture was crowded in them. The hotel was somewhat updated in the last 10 years and kept clean, but old carpets and beds can only be cleaned so much. The sheets, pillows, and towels seemed new, fresh, and clean. The bathroom was extremely small, and no vents. It would help if the door opened out instead of into the toilet. Had to dance with the door to shut it going in and out. The breakfast bar food was as expected, well-stocked, and clean. We did see a 5-inch-long cockroach in the hallway. This is a pet-friendly hotel, and the dogs did bark. We will not be staying here again.

Our stay was okay. It served our purpose. The cost was fair. It was clean and we did not see bugs. The night we arrived and checked in the tub faucet broke off and the water was spraying straight out. The hotel immediately changed our room. The pillows were not the most comfortable but served its purpose. The continental breakfast was good. The location is great. I would stay there again
