Wrong coffee maker in room compared to the small coffee cartridges. Also no carafe in the coffee maker. Coffee maker in the continental breakfast area also not working. Utility work outside cut water main so no water for several hours.

Don’t stay here.

Upon entering the room, I immediately noticed stains on the comforter and a chair awkwardly shoved into a corner where it didn’t belong, making it difficult to move around. Shortly after turning on the AC, it began emitting a burning smell, which was both concerning and unpleasant. The bathroom conditions were unacceptable. The toilet was not securely fastened to the floor, shifting every time it was used, and it sounded as if it might break with each flush. No soap was provided for either the sink or the shower, and for two adults we were given only one towel. The shower drain was badly clogged, and the toilet paper roll was nearly empty upon arrival. Breakfast was another disappointment. At check-in, we were told it would be served from 7:00–10:00 a.m. However, when we arrived at 9:30, the shelves were empty, and only a gallon of milk and a few yogurts remained in the fridge. When we asked the front desk about it, we were dismissively told breakfast actually ended at 9:00, despite the misinformation given at check-in. The response to our concern was nothing more than a careless “oh.” This property charges far too much for such a poor experience. I rarely write reviews, but I am extremely disappointed that the money I spent here felt entirely wasted. Do yourself a favor and book elsewhere.

The place was ok, the gentleman at the desk was courteous and helpful. As far as the room, the beds were clean but general cleanliness not so much. Bathroom towels were pretty beat. A buddy and I were there for one night so it wasn't so bad, we were just in town to pick up a couple machines from a local dealer.

Needs a remodel

This hotel needs some serious updates. The beds are in rough shape. They tried redoing flooring as it appeared new but it’s popped up in several places creating spongy tripping hazards. They clearly didn’t use enough glue to hold it down in both rooms we had. On the other end staff was pleasant and room was clean.

Promo photo out of date

The bed has a metal pedestal frame so anytime you step close to the bed it sounds like you are kicking furnace ductwork. Attempts have been made to update, but things like inconsistent hot water and shower control knob looking like its from the 70s and broken will have us staying elsewhere next time.

Pluses and minuses

The positives: nice staff, nice pool and not too cold, breakfast basic but fresh bread etc, hotel itself had just a few people so was quiet in hallways. The negatives: hot tub seems to be degrading. When I was in it I wasn’t sure about the peeling paint , concrete and got out. The air conditioning in our room was super loud. It only operates by turning on and off so it was extremely hard to sleep through. Bathtub did not drain well but was clean.
