It was overpriced staff 3 separate front desk personal during stay. Night person not so friendly day People better. Clean, comfortable bed but absolutely average stay. Continental breakfast ok could use improvement. Coffee machine 5 stars after you figure out how to use. Was there directions on how to use? If not should be posted near machine. Room for improvement on most levels

Very clean rooms, nice sized fridge even in a 2 queen. Breakfast was lacking and usually slow service as you couldnt serve yourself. Some items would be gone by 8am. Room was available before normal check in and staff were helpful and polite. Pool was heated and not overly chlorinated.

Property is older and room had a strong bleach / chlorine / musty smell upon arrival. Fairly clean, other guests left several empty alcohol cans and trash in the corridor which was unpleasant. Free Breakfast was better than some hotels, eggs were freshly made in front of you but took time and had to ask for them to be cooked well done. Overall, ok for a one night stay but could have been slightly less in price.

The little sign on the desk with the QR Code that needs to be scanned to get access to anything, should be bigger and more visible, and in a more prominent spot like in front of the TV, instead of on the desk where things get piled upon entry thus hiding the note. Could also use a small counter/shelf closer to the toilet for any required items. I was in an accessible room and the countertop was too far away to reach and the floor is too far when sitting on the toilet. All the different soaps and the lotion is citrus scented. I'm not a fan of food smelling products. I prefer to smell fresh and clean or fragrance free.

Hotel is dated. Although the staff cleaned is still looks dingy. Only hotel room left in the are so we had little choice. Certainly not worth’s the $300.00 . The morning breakfast reminded me was a ghetto hot skillet on a folding table. Prostitutes at the motel attached to the Hotel and some sketchy people in the area. Certainly didn’t want to leave my SUV parked out front. With that said the room was clean and the staff were helpful and friendly. If there were other options available I would have taken them.
