I would never again stay in this property again. They only had one house keeper in the whole building. I waited about 30 mins before giving up for the front desk person because my key wasn’t working. When I checked in I Went to my room and I saw hair all over the toilet and floor. They don’t clean your room everyday. No breakfast included. also, you have to bring your dirty towels downstairs in order to get “fresh clean towels”. The building outside looks nice but inside I don’t know what’s going on. I just know I’ll never stay there again!! They definitely need more staff

Although the hotel was under construction the manger was more than thrilled to show us the new rooms, provided detailed schedules for when things would start back up or when they would be finished. We stayed in a renovated room and could tell the difference! Other than some of the other guests being loud and literally trashing the grill area the stay was pleasant. Great location too!

Misleading pictures on website

The pictures on the website were very misleading. The room looked dingy and dirty and it was incredibly small.
