The lobby area was spacious and convenient. The hotel is close to local attractions and easy parking. One of our guest an elderly woman tripped in the bathroom and skinned her knee. The hotel did not have a first aid kit and I had to go to Walgreens nearby to get bandages/large band aid and anticeptic spray. The bathroom door came off the track about half way closed and would not move. Also the toilet seat would not stay up. One male, two females,that's a problem.

No pool, not a real restaurant, loud ac

We chose this hotel because it seemed like the best choice in the area. It’s a little run down but that would be ok except the pool was closed. I came here with my daughter after dropping my son at camp with the idea of hanging out together at the pool for the evening On check in I was told the pool was closed because it rained yesterday and it needed to be cleaned. It rains everyday so if that’s the case it will never be open. Too late to cancel. Later I looked at some reviews on a couple of different sites and found people complaining about the pool closure since the beginning of July. So the whole rain excuse is a lie. The pool is just closed. Also the “restaurant” is just a sandwich shop. This hotel is falsely advertising their amenities and I definitely would not have stayed here had I known of the pool closure and restaurant. Also the AC unit in the room is obnoxiously loud

Disliked: Cleanliness
When I was walking into the hotel the entrance was covered in some type of liquid. When I entered the lobby the floor was filthy. It looked like it had not been mopped in ages. When I left in the morning broken glass was allover the outside entrance. The staff was friendly.

The room was ok at best, the plugs attached to the nightstand were falling out the wall or would practically be hanging out of said wall. The furniture was definitely well worn, and the bed was pretty uncomfortable, felt like I was sleeping on a curved arch, not a very fun experience. Also there is nothing slowing all the doors from shutting so constant loud door slams are the norm when you’re trying to sleep. The building is just really well worn and definitely could use a SERIOUS face lift. But it was like I said, ok at best. The staff however was amazing and is the only reason my review is at 3 stars.
