The staff was very good. There was an issue with the first room. We went back to the desk and talked to Steve about it. he gave us a different room. before he gave us the room he made sure the room was in good shape. If we make it back to the area we would stay there again. thanks again Steve for going beyond taking care of us.

When I stayed, it was under renovation, so the facility was not in excellent condition. Maybe the facility will improve after the renovation. The excellent staff made up for it though. They were very friendly and accommodating. I will give this a shot again though. Hopefully it will be a different experience when the construction is completed.

Absolutely shocked to show up and see that the property was NOTHING like photographed on the website. Also, "construction" supposedly being done in the breakfast area AND pool area, so no breakfast, no added amedities were offered. Woke up to banging in the room next door AND the room above at 7am! Electric tape holding things together, clothesline clips were holding the curtain on the rod. A 3 inch gap under every room door. No other lock on the door other than the one on the door handle. I was there with my daughter for orientation at BSU, i didnt feel safe at all. Not a bad area at all, so i guess i expected to atleast see what i saw on the website. If i could have canceled i would have. I would never recommend or even come back!

The new owners have had this property for two months as of April 25, 2025 & they’re remodeling it. That’s nice but their rooms are not yet. Upon checking in, they informed me the pool & breakfast area are still under renovation so those aren’t available (they did say we could go to the Baymount next door for breakfast). So understandable. The first room was hot, stuffy, and smelled musty. Cobwebs were along the ceiling above the beds, paint scraped off the walls, and the air conditioner didn’t work. The second room had a large spot of water damage on the ceiling & mold growing in it. The water damage on the ceiling of the 3rd room was worse than the second. The gentleman at the front desk was very nice & gave me a full refund & we stayed somewhere else that night. It has potential, but right now is not a good place to stay.

Not worth the stay even at half the cost.

Kitchen and pool were closed for remodeling, so no breakfast, and hotel refused discount. Room was what I would expect from a 3 star hotel. Clean, but run down. Very thin sheets and towels. Non-smoking room smelled of cigarette smoke and cleaning agent. Several customers parked in parking lot and playing loud music - hotel did nothing.
