In the past the property and staff were excellent. This last visit was deplorable. Card reader to our rooms we're not working, microwave was not working, No hot water for showering, and lastly. The elevator was not working, for the rest of stay. Had to call the fire department to exit the property. Some how I managed to still have a great Birthday Party. Anyone reading this post. Call in advance, before booking if you're interested in staying at this hotel. I'm giving you fare warning.

The online ratings of this hotel are not correct. It should be rated a 2-star hotel. Trash all around the property... Rooms were nonetheless clean but we will never again stay here! There also is not a daily room service. Very meager room towels. The bed was comfortable enough but we felt terrible there!

Leaks.

We booked for the kitchenette and what we got suited the purpose. Check in was fast, as the staff did not engage at all. Our toilet ran constantly and the bath tub leaked. The pool had no towels available and when we requested some not enough for our family was provided.

I typically avoid reviews in general more so negative ones, because I feel bad for the owners. I usually give them the benefit of the doubt, thinking that maybe I stayed there on a bad day. However, I felt it was necessary to leave a review this time for the sake of anyone considering booking this place. DO NOT book here! The pictures and profile of this place do not match the actual accommodations. As soon as you walk in, there is an overpowering smell of cleaning products. They seem to be trying to mask other unpleasant odors by using excessive cleaners. My room was dirty; it had a hole in the wall and hair was in the sheets of another room.This place did not feel safe at all. It has a vibe that resembles a hotel used for illicit activities, especially since there is a strip club just a block away. There were homeless individuals walking the streets, and in the corner of the hotel's parking lot, there were men drinking and smoking. I highly discourage anyone from staying here, especially if traveling with children. I did not stay here I ended up leaving this place and booking another place, the Embassy Suites by Hilton, and the price difference was only about $20 in a safe location Well worth it ! Do your research you’ll find a way better place at the same cost, trust me I regret not doing mine beforehand.
