The location and exterior of the hotel were fine, but the room itself felt very outdated and had an odd smell. While I was checking in, another guest was complaining about bedbugs, which was concerning. Most of the front desk staff were rude and unhelpful; only one receptionist was actually friendly. The parking lot felt very sketchy, and they still charge $33 for it, which definitely didn’t feel worth it. Breakfast was extremely limited and the same every day — you might as well go to Starbucks and spend the same amount for something better. Overall, I would not recommend staying here.

I am not one to leave reviews for anything but this one needs one. Also, I hate to be a negative nelly but unfortunately it needs it. Upon walking into our room we were hit with the worst mildew/musky smell. We opened the sliding door and room door just to get fresh air. The carpet is beyond disgusting and the wallpaper is falling off the wall. In the middle of the night my daughter began having trouble breathing while she was sleeping. The next morning I noticed sooo much debris/dust bunnies on the ceiling above her bed from the vent. Clearly hasn't been cleaned in I don't know how long. The TV had no signal so we couldn't watch anything. We were able to talk to someone about our issues and they stated they would have someone come up and do a deep clean of the room and fix the TV. It was never done. I will give the property at least one positive. There included (paid $40) breakfast is pretty good. With that being said, Save your money and go somewhere else.

The room was in worse condition than we expected. Staining and a bit run down. Fridge and tv weren’t plugged in when we got to the room. There were enough outlets to plug the fridge, tv and light/lamp in where they needed to, so you had to choose. Beds seemed to be clean. Staff was courteous.

The staff at the front desk made me stand and wait for awhile before they even acknowledged me while they were clearly not busy and speaking in another language. I was not given any info regarding the breakfast buffet that I paid additional for. In the morning, I was told that I had to go to the front desk to ask for a ticket to be able to dine. That was inconvenient. Same thing for the second morning. At the dinning hall, no one offered the omlet that was to be prepared as mentioned on the signed at the front of the hall, and no coffee service was offered either. Later in the day, I went to the front desk to get the new towels sets and toilet paper that my room needed and witnessed the staff give complimentary cookies and water for the guests in front of me that just checked in. I received neither. The shower water barely came out.
