Rooms dirty floors had toenails on them not cleaned at all bathroom had mildew on tile grout fan was so noisy and is so clogged with dirt it was un effective paint peeling shower had no pressure and was leaking I bought the package through Orbitz and they tried to charge me extra for parking I complained about it they said they would refund me but never got an email stating the refund. Coffee shop is posted opens at 6 no one was there many days till after 7 furniture was in rough shape old and peeling very limited no water available unless you go to water machine by ice machine and that is so disgusting and hasn't been cleaned or serviced in months the nozzles are so dirty. Overall I would never stay there again. Forget about no security and people coming in making very loud outbursts at 2 3 Up to 530 in the morning. i would not recommend this place if you want a good experience I will be staying across the street next year at the Hilton

Property is expensive and billed as a fancy, chiq hotel but it’s super run down. Everything in the room is falling apat, the stairs are warped and the grounds are meh. Everything is expensive, mediocre cafe for fancy prices, expensive drinks by the pool. Pay for parking but no one ever checks the lot. Was told housekeeping came automatically each day but the didn’t our first day so we had to request it. We were told due to occupancy they were trying to get to everyone but couldn’t. That was a Wednesday. When they did come, they emptied one of two trash cans, didn’t remove towels from the floor and only sort of put the bedding back on the bed. The pool was nice though a little chilly. The fitness center was decent though had tweens running in and out most the times we visited. Location to old town was great for walking. The front desk and folks answering the text messages (since no phones on the room) were kind and helpful. For the price, we won’t be staying there again.

This is false advertising. Property does not match the photos. Everything is dirty and dated. The room did not match the photo at all! I did not have a desk in my room. Bathroom had no electricity. I came in from a 22 hr flight, past midnight and stayed the night and checked myself into another hotel the following day. Front desk raised no issue and said I would get a refund from Expedia/Orbitz because the property would not charge me for the nights I didn’t stay and they printed me an invoice for the one night only. Now Orbitz is telling me I would not be given a refund. If you want to have a horrible time, book this hotel.

The hotel was centrally located. Walkable to old town with lots of restaurants options nearby. Pool was great, wish you didn’t have to walk to the lobby to grab a drink during the week. The property, lobby, pool area, and gym were well kept. The bathroom in the room needs love, along with the towels. Not very clean and not up to par with the vibe the hotel gives off.

This property is older and you can tell once you arrive however, it was clean and staff was nice. The first night e we had no washcloths in our room, there was a cleaning cart near by but nobody around, I tried to find washcloths myself and there was only towels and hand towels on the cart. I did not call down to ask it wasn’t such a big deal. While using the gym we tried all the light switches and it was only barely lit up. Enough you could see but the amount of light is what you would leave on over night. At the ice machine they also had a filter water station that was very appreciated. We used the hot tub, it was nice and warm and the pressure on the jets were good. I would stay here again
