Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was spacious, but the sink wouldn't drain the whole way due to how it was installed With spending close to $1200 for 3 nights and finding out breakfadt isn't included, was pretty bad. To make it worse, they suggested we could go nect door to Holiday Inn for their buffet for about $8 but turned out to be $11.95!

Paul, Delaware

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Rude employees with no customer service skills. The room was unclean, the smell was horrible, the noise level from a group of kids playing drums on buckets outside until the late night was unacceptable (the hotel staff didn’t care and did nothing about it), the area has changed to an unsafe feeling, the parking was far from the entrance, the pool area had rust and mold on the ceiling and walls and doors, and the fridge had a horrible fish smell that the staff said was from the cleaning agent they use. Don’t stay here. Find another place. We will never stay here again.

We booked a studio king suite and were given a basic 2 queen room claiming there was nothing left. Friends of ours showed up after we did and they were given a king. They also did not want to honor or 4 night booking thru Expedia for $669 They tried to charge us $919 claiming fees and taxes. After showing them my receipt on Expedia they said that was not true because it was not honored because it was not prepaid. They eventually did go with our Expedia booking, charging us $150 for incidentals.
