DO NOT SMOKE!!

Overall stay was good. First night the fire alarms went off at 12:10 a.m. due to someone smoking in one of the rooms while someone else was taking a shower.

Two rooms had broken door lock, the third room had a broken refrigerator, and the 4th room i was assigned had Cockroaches climbing the walls. I cancelled the rest of my stay and moved to a different hotel. This hotel is in very poor shape.

The staff are very sweet but sadly the attention to detail of cleanliness has slid since I stayed here back in 2018. Towel left in the room had hair stuck in the fibers, shower was missing its handle bar, the halls reeked of the smell of food cooking as though someone lived there.

This was where we went for our honeymoon we went back for our 17th anniversary. There was a dirty wash cloth in the shower. The staff only came into the room and took the wash cloth. After showering the towel we used to dry the floor turned black. There was a brown stain on the top cover of the bed. One of the pill cases had what looked like blood on it. I removed the pillow case and the pillow had what looked like a bodily fluid stain on it. The sheets had what looked like oil stains on them. The hot tub in the room was the best part and even it doesn’t hold water for very long.

TV’s did not work correctly and when I tried to initially turn it on the cable was missing from the back of the television, and I had to ask the front desk to bring me a cable for the TV. When she came to the door, she told me how to hook it up and I had to put it on instead of somebody coming up and doing it for us. I obviously knew how to do it without being told, but I shouldn’t have needed to the showerhead was tied up with deflated balloons, and a ice bag to hold the hose in place the top of the toilet didn’t match the toilet that was in the bathroom. No wash cloths until I asked for some and only two towels for three people in one room I had to ask for more towels. Room was not very clean, and also the flush on the toilet was broke. Stated for two nights and our trash was never emptied or room cleaned. Overall, the hotel has fallen majorly and this is a place I’ve been staying in for over 30 years. It’s disappointing how far this place has fallen. I won’t stay there again.

I was given the wrong room at first and when I went back up to the office the lady was real nice and made sure it was corrected.. My only complaint is that the shower in my room was nasty and wasn't cleaned before it was given to me.

The property is conveniently located to the downtown area. It has a pool and hot tub and both were working, which has become somewhat unusual lately.
