The hot tub/water park seem to be permanently closed so the listing should be updated to reflect that. The entire place could use a new coat of paint, and new carpeting. The shower handle had to turn about a dozen times before water would start, but after that water pressure was generally fine. The breakfast was re-packaged doughnut holes and yoghurt (which seems odd because little-debbie and Yoplait make them individually packaged). The place was quiet on our Sunday night stay (I'd guess we were the only people on the 2nd floor) and the beds and pillows were comfy.

Hair was in both queen beds, room was very dim and the waterpark that they so proudly talk about on their website has been closed since the beginning of 2026. Beds were comfortable but I put a beach towel that I bought down on my bed to sleep on top of because the sheets didn’t feel clean and they were very worn looking.

The Pool was out of order which they did provide a discount or free cancellation. Check-in process was easy we got to our room and the air conditioner did not work at all. It was 90° outside. Hotel cleanliness was not great. The bedframe was broke. They did switch us rooms. Not bad if you just need a quick place to crash if you’re looking to explore the area and enjoy your stay, probably go elsewhere.
