The property needs a serious refresh. There was mold and chipping paint on the shower floor. The furniture in the room was new and the mattress was comfortable, the layout was odd as the bed was pushed up against the room AC. The AC did work well. They did not have a record of our resevsftion, but eventually honored it after I showed proof. It seems that management is trying to improve things but they haven’t quite hit the mark.

Ok but probably won't return

The hotel was pretty nice for the price but you can hear every conversation on the floor due to thin walls, laminate floors and big gaps under the doors. Additionally, we had a squeeky bed and very noisy people right next to us until after midnight. It has a lot of potential but need to tighten up a bit.

I booked a room with 2 Queen beds for 3 person occupancy.The lady tried to give me a room with 1 King bed. I had to literally show her my reservation on my phone..One of the beds had hair on the linen... it was not ours, so that tells me the linen wasn't clean. The bathroom was dirty, dead bugs on the floor, the toilet wasn't clean, the toilet seat needed replacing. I slept in a chair, the other person slept on top of the bed ,& the 3rd person slept on the chaise. Luckily it was for 1 over night stay, we didn’t bother to shower. Absolutely Disgusting! At checkout, she had the netve to ask if we were eating breakfast. No, Thank you.

Rooms were spacious and clean. Staff accommodated our request for 2 neighboring rooms happily. Bathrooms a bit outdated with shower doors difficult to open. We had a comfortable stay and would recommend this hotel - will definitely keep it on our list to visit again!

Arrived at check-in and they couldn’t find my reservation. She checked for 10 minutes or more and kept questioning me whether I was sure I made the reservation there, even though I had shown her the confirmation. She asked me to call Expedia and tell them she couldn’t find it and I was calling she magically found the confirmation. We went up to the room with all our bags only for a staff member to yell at us from the other side of the hallway to wait because the room wasn’t ready. We went back downstairs and they changed our room. We went up again and there was some kind of debris on the bedsheets. A roach egg casing behind the microwave. A live silverfish in the bathroom. The room was nothing like pictured. Just looked in poor condition. I will never stay here again. Even the breakfast was awful.
