This is false advertising. The rooms are disgusting. The internet and tv did not work. The outlets in the room did not work. The pool and gym were closed. There were bugs in the rooms. I am extremely disappointed this is list as a 4 star hotel it was the worst hotel I have ever walked into. I had to leave and book a new hotel, I am still waiting for my refund that I was told I would be getting.

Had a bad experience with 2 nites 7/23/25 & 7/24. Checked in @ 2 but they wanted to charge me 25 unless I waited to check in @ 3. **1 hour = $25 shameful. A week before, the contact told me that it would be OK for an early check in @ 2 -- no mention of a penalty. No room phone & WIFI did not connect. The 2nd day, room was not cleaned. Should have known when I saw a squirrel jump out of the trash can in front of the place. My wife & I met there 51 years ago and were looking to reminisce but the place has really deteriorated. Only highlight is the Breakfast guy -- respectful and helpful and positive. Sad.

We reserved a balcony room just to be told they didnt have any. both inside and outside pools were murky couldn't even see my feet in the water. No hot tub or spa room as advertised. Did not book a pet friendly room but had dogs barking under me all night. Charged me a fee for booking through a 3rd party but never mentioned it, it just appeared on my card.

based on the rating of "good" on Expedia, and based on my long experience with this website, I was frankly expecting much better. this hotel is not awful but is below average for the price point. it smells bad and everything feels like it's on the verge of falling apart and super cheap. the shelf above the sink in the bathroom was on the verge of falling off and slanted downward so you coudn't leave anything on it. It seems to be a place where weddings are hosted which is hard to imagine. It'd be a little better than hosting a wedding in a Motel 6. If you need a place for one night I guess it suffices but I can't imagine staying here for more than 12 hours.

STREAM SIDE WARNING! Booked a stream side sight. Got there and thankfully the band on the deck bar was warming up before we settled into our room. The band noise was very loud. Asked the front desk how long the band plays, stated until 1:00am. Asked for a different room and the front desk was very accommodating and nice and were able to get us into a different room thankfully. Nothing is conveniently located inside the hotel. No elevator where we were. Not a whole lot of steps but a hassle with luggage. Outside courtyard desperately needs cleaned up and maintained. Could be so much better. The room doors stick and you hear doors slamming all day and night. So disappointed and won’t be returning. There are too many other choices that are better with better rates.
