Staff was great, rooms were very clean and the breakfast was great! Trash was always in the parking lot and no cigarette butt ash trays, stop smoking in front of building, looks bad. But pool was great, it was quite and bed was comfy and tv had lots of channels. 4 and half stars and enjoyed my stay at this hotel.

The rooms were very smelly. Cabinets drawers were damaged and falling apart. Floors are very dirty. Had to move rooms the smell was so bad. Would have switched hotels but had a flight in the morning and it was very inconvenient to move to another hotel. Upset I had to pay for such bad accommodations.

The positive first. The staff was great! Very responsive and helpful when asked for assistance. The breakfast was good and the beds were comfortable. Negative is the riff raff around the facility and the room size. Room was incredibly small. The worst was the fact there was a very impaired woman in the lobby. I was unsure of her impairment until she dropped a crack pipe in front of me in the lobby. Also, I know it was graduation weekend but not worth the $400 for one night I would not recommend this hotel until they get the unwelcome traffic under control.

Just ok is not ok

This hotel was just ok. The hotel is older and the room has had some recent updates and was clean but the pool area was tired looking and not inviting. There was no hot water in the room. It was lukewarm at best (both evening and morning). There was no thermostat control in my room, nor an exterior window and no fan in the bathroom, which made the air in the room feel thick. The walls are thin and one of the adjacent rooms had their tv blaring a good hour or more after I tried to go to sleep. Breakfast was decent. Unless I cannot find any other decent place to stay in the area, I wont be back.
