Hotel room wasn’t cleaned prior to assigning it to us. Hallway smelled of mold. Pool was under construction and we were never informed. Front desk wasn’t able to make an exception to put us in a room on the first floor.

Check in very slow. And during that time other guest came back to the desk and complained the room they were given was not cleaned from previous guest. Building dirty all around property, trash, all around. Could not open curtains the windows covered with spider webs on outside of windows, and just dirty. not very well maintained very black mark for your brand. Way too much for the room.

DO NOT. Spend the extra $$$ somewhere else.

Construction going on during stay, whole hotel smelt like poop. Dirty room…. Fridge and microwaves were dirtiest I’ve seen in a hotel room, and I travel a good bit. I usually don’t write reviews, but this place should be condemned.

Budget Friendly, but not worth it.

Dear Management. I recently stayed at your hotel while in town for business. I’ve passed by your property countless times and was eager to finally experience it firsthand. While I found the staff to be exceptionally friendly and a joy to interact with, I was disappointed with the condition of the property itself. Upon checking in, my son and I were assigned a room where the phone, television, and microwave were all non-functional. We had to pack up our belongings and move to another room down the hall. Unfortunately, this room also had issues: the microwave didn’t work, the room was poorly insulated, and our key cards kept demagnetizing despite being kept away from my phone and credit cards, which required frequent trips to the front desk. Additionally, the ice machine on our floor was out of order, and to top it off, both my son and I contracted influenza during our stay—certainly not the highlight we anticipated. While I understand that occasional maintenance issues can occur, the number of problems we experienced was disappointing. If minor costs are being prioritized over guest comfort—especially when nearby hotels offer better amenities like functional pools and jacuzzis—it may be time to reconsider property management strategies. I wanted to bring these concerns to your attention in hope that improvements can be made for future guests this summer.

This is not the first time I have had to wait for check in, past advertised time. And nobody is staying for the customer service or cleanliness. Front desk attendant was rude as usual.

Older property very worn down not being improved much Outside access doors to room felt unsafe/ no chain locks -so much that we put large objects in front of them to help ensure safety. Pool area was ok and usable but hot tub was broken and had been for some time . Moldy bathroom ceiling tiles, and drain plugs . Affordable weekend getaway as long as your standards are too high .
