Liked: Staff & service
This hotel was conveniently located and the staff was nice. However, the interior is outdated and our room wasn’t as clean as it could have been. (It looked like they forgot to vacuum.) It was a noisy hotel partly because doors are old and do not reduce the sound coming from the hallways and the walls are thin between adjoining rooms. Guests who stay should be aware that the conference space is rented out and they could be subjected to loud party music that goes past 10:30pm.

I cannot believe the audacity of this property to charge so much to stay here. First, the property is not landscaped at all. It looks absolutely terrible. The doors going in to the hotel don't even close. There are no elevators. There was no "Do Not Disturb" sign, but it didn't matter because the house keeper never came anyway. The walls are super thin and it was loud the entire time. We were woken up out of a dead sleep from someone taking a shower and the squeaking of the pipes was SO LOUD! There was someone in the lobby who was either on drugs or super drunk, she slid off the chair onto the floor and no one did anything. I try not to complain, but if I'm paying this much money, the experience should have been waaaaay better!

Eh, it was definetly an older hotel. Very dated but I must say it was clean for it being so vintage. The staff was 5 Star all the way. As soon as you mention any need they immediately get right to it. The staff was probably the best part of the stay. That type of hospitality isn’t too common these days.

Terrible hotel, outdated and dirty. Stains on furniture, hair and bugs on the bed, Stains on the window to an unmowed courtyard, pool was ice cold and not what was presented online. Tub had soap scum and after taking shower the tub wouldn't drain, bathroom sink wouldn't drain after brushing teeth. This hotel should be taken off your list. I checked out within 2 hours of checking in, I was promised a full refund.

Been said in many reviews before but do not stay here. Not maintained, shower will beat you into oblivion, no protien offered at breakfast, air conditioner rattled the walls when it came on. Sheetrock exposed on many walls, just a bad experience overall. Someone needs to actually care about this place but apparently no one does.
