One of the worst hotel stays we have ever had. The hotel is old and everything about it says old. The room was sparse and dingy. I would not recommend it to anyone. Please read this review before you make your booking. Definitely not worth the money

Dated, but still clean. It was in a convenient location to drive to places, but nothing really close to walk to. Biggest downside is the only elevator is at front so if you have issues with carrying luggage up stairs don’t get a room on 2nd floor because it’s a long walk to elevator if you’re in back. Also, this room was more expensive because it had courtyard view. Well, the courtyard view was of a covered swimming pool. Shouldn’t be charging extra for this.

The room was large, clean and had extra chairs. Also a kurig coffee maker which is not common. Staff was curteous. We only stayed one night so did not have the opportunity to use the hot tub or pool. While breakfast was included, it was a feozen breakfast sandwich which must be retrieved at the checkin counter. There plenty of extra snacks to choose from as well. We would stay there again
