This hotel is under a long renovation. We stayed there in September of 2024, and renovations were happening then. We certainly thought it would be finished by now, but the hotel has fallen below the level we prefer. Our room looked partially renovated. We couldn't control our room temperature, our sink was cracked, the carpet was "finished" with painter's tape beneath the entrance door to our room. Wallpaper was peeling badly above our entrance door in the hallway. Building materials continue to be piled in the breakfast area (also in September). The lobby had some improvements, but the elevator was very dirty.

The property was undergoing a remodel at the time of my visit. Not just part or a floor at a time, the entire building. We had two rooms and neither was completed. We even changed a room and still the same. I am a building contractor and I understand dust and delays but the rest of my party was very unsatisfied. When doing a remodel and still charging full price for rooms they need to be finished and clean. The smoke detector in the room wasn't even installed yet and there was no fire escape plan posted in the rooms. Where I come from that is a major violation. I kept my mouth shut so as not to create anymore issues with our stay. In the end we stayed for all 4 nights and didn't bother looking for another motel. Maybe next year when we visit they will be completed and it will be one of the nicer motels in the area.

Wish they had added a notice the hotel is undergoing extensive construction. The front entrance patio is wrapped in caution tape, many of the floor areas are covered with paint/debris. The staff was trying, but it literally was staying inside a full blown construction zone, with dust everywhere and materials stacked on the floor basically everywhere including hallways. Probably is a great hotel, but shouldn't even be open in this current condition

Condition of hotel was atrocious. It was under construction and no one disclosed that when we booked. The room was not clean, and the beds were not well made. We ended up leaving and staying somewhere else. They were understanding. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

The place was under construction but they should not be letting guests stay in unfinished rooms. There were wires hanging out, moldings missing, etc but the worst part was how filthy it was. And the privacy lock was missing.

Even though they were renovating the hotel was super clean, smelled wonderful and still provided all of their amenities. The staff was very friendly and they took safety very seriously. Upon checking in the desk clerk didn’t announce my room number aloud: and they had a sign that all deliveries are to be left at the front with prevents strangers from having direct access to your room. Also when he handed my id and card back my address was on the bottom so as not to be seen. I don’t know if that was intentional or not but as a woman who typically travels and stays alone I was so grateful and I felt so safe there. This will be my new preferred hotel stay!

I've stayed here several times before, however this past time was horrible. I get hotels need to renovate, but it should be listed on the website. No one should be allowed to stay in the hotel in its current state. The hotel should not be open right now. They are redoing the hotel and it is literally a mess. The banging started at 8:15 AM which is not good when you arrive to the hotel at 1:00 AM. Then there was a leak in the first room and I was moved to another room. Turns out I was placed right across the hall from a group of men who were working on the hotel during the week and would party, drink and scream all weekend. The cleaning staff was so friendly and really tried but the handyworkers were a mess and left it really bad. Also, the pool was not open and that should be listed on the website as well. No one should be staying in the hotel with what's going on there during the renovations.
