Was pleasantly surprised after reading previous reviews. They are renovating rooms and you can tell they are putting forth an effort to improve the place inside and out. The room we stayed in was basically brand new, even had to peel the plastic off the mirror. There are areas that are currently being renovated but it didn't effect our stay.

I had a message stating that the price of my room had gone done, I was refused the new price as I was told it was another hotel. It was not.

The property was actually fairly clean and recently updated. However, our room had ants. The bathroom was renovated to be handicapped accessible but the shower sent water EVERY where and there were holes in the wall that didn't get finished with the renovation. The front desk person checked us in and we never saw him again. There were a pile of keys on the desk when we left, and I waited for 10 minutes for someone to come out so I could ask for soap,but no one ever did.

The hotel was undergoing renovations during our stay. There was no wifi, no tv, and no pool, none of which was communicated during booking. Breakfast was fine - very limited selection but overall OK. Our room was not especially clean, with stains on the walls and ceiling and bathroom, but it was not terrible. The most frustrating experience was on the day we were checking out our keycards stopped working during breakfast around 8AM, probably some kind of error with the time-out on the card. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal but there was no one at the front desk to help us. A note said to call a specific number if you needed help but when I dialed the number it just rang the front desk. I roamed the hallways looking for anyone working there and there was literally not one single staff around to help me get back into my room. Absolutely ridiculous. Eventually, after around an hour of being locked out of my room, a cleaning staff member arrived and I was able to get back into my room. If competence, cleanliness and convenience are important to you in any way, choose a different hotel!
