Great stay!

I don’t understand the amount of bad reviews I see on other search engines, because I had a great stay! The lobby smelled good, the staff was friendly especially Natasha (SP?) at the front desk. My room and was extremely comfortable and I felt very comfortable being a solo traveler. The pool area is also very nice! I’ll be back 🙂

This hotel isn't worth anywhere near the amount they charge. It's an old hotel very cheaply "updated" with cheap peeling wallpaper and the front of our sink base was literally falling off. The corners of the floor are cracked and delaminating. The staff was ok but the grounds aren't well kept and it's noisy. The beds are also some of the most uncomfortable I've ever slept in. Woke up with a headache and stuffy nose from the room. Definitely not worth it. Left me wanting my money back.

The hotel was nice clean pool, there were some issues like in the bathroom exposed wires, and the food was overpriced to the quality. Lots of places to relax around the hotel inside and out. To far to walk to shopping and food, but was a very quick car ride to lots of food options

When I first entered the room, the pullout couch was moved right next to the bed too close to pull it out. A man from housekeeping came in didn't understand English. I had to figure out where the couch was supposed to go and he helped me move it. The front door stuck I had to barge my way in. Coffee maker didn't work. The refrigerator wasn't working well. That's four things. I can't call it a good trip. I was given a second lcoffee maker that worked the second day.

Disappointed due to 1 elevator and 2 ice machines for 6 floors. We stayed here last year, and it was great but within a year it seems things are going downhill. They do not seem to be keeping up with minor property upkeep such as painting the walls or wiping the dirt off the elevator walls or keeping carpets clean.
