I should have heeded the warnings of the other reviews. It smelled like "natural herbs" as soon as i walked in. I know you can't control who your guests are but i think the hotel and area attracts a certain type. I felt like i was at a halfway house.

No bugs but very dirty

Building and room was very dirty. Service was ok, only one staff member seemed moody all other staff were very friendly. Not a terrible experience but probably won't choose this hotel during future trips due to the lack of cleanliness. I had photos to upload but it won't let me add them.

No hot water from the shower because it wasn't installed correctly, plenty hot from sink. Couldn't take showers for the gymnastics meet. Indoor pool was closed, which was main reason we chose this location.

Never will I book this hotel again! The hotel room was dirty upon arrival and the entire hotel smell horribly of marijuana. I had to ask for the shower curtain and towels as they were not provided in the room. I also had to buy air fresheners and cleaning products to make the room decent enough for my complete stay. Such a horrible experience with cleanliness and sanitation. The staff was polite and that was about the only good thing about it.

My room was in a non-smoking area but there was a strong smell of pot in the hall the whole time. The patrons were noisy and slamming doors all night. There were people hanging around outside when I arrived liked around the dumpster at the neighboring restaurant. The bed sheet had a hole in it. The room floor and walls were dirty. The general maintenance of the room was poor. The room door was open when I went to it the first time and the toilet seat was up.
