Loud partying all night and no security. Dogs barking, poor water pressure, outdated, some of the lights didn’t even work. Zero concern when I reported the situation the next morning to hotel management. Great location, but expected way better.

Room for improvement.

Wheelchair accessible room overlooking the dumpster which was noisy at night. Loose hair found on the toilet seat and sheets. Toilet stopped flushing. Room was showing its age. Breakfast was good. Breakfast staff were good as was the front desk staff.

Filthy room

We checked into the room and it was covered in dust. It looked like it had not been cleaned or occupied in months, possibly years. I went to the front desk and told them about it and they sent a cleaning lady over who dusted a little bit but honestly, I was disgusted. At least they gave us a refund on the second night, which we did not use.

Old looking property that needs some room updates. The beds felt broken down and like springs were coming up from within the mattress. Very noisy and parking was difficult due to pruning of trees and limbs taking up so many spots.
