Nice hotel

The hotel was very nice, if a little dated, with a really nice pool area! It felt safe and I slept well here! The air conditioner was quiet which is a bonus in any hotel!

Honestly was so disappointed, the picture on the site were so misleading. When we got into the room it smelted moldy, the bedding felt wet on top and under the covers. The bathroom was so small we got ready in the room. There’s was absolutely no counter space to even put our toiletry bag, and the door barely missed the toilet when closed. The tub had some look like bondo over the crack at the bottom of the tub. We did check out the pool area which was nice, just be careful the pool needed to be resurfaced.

Overall pleasant experience and accommodating. Parking $24 a night is definitely more expensive than other hotels nearby. AC was very weak, we set it at 60 degrees and it definitely didn’t feel like it.

Disliked: Staff & service
When I first checked in on Friday, September 19th around 2:30 PM, I was surprised by the lack of courtesy from the woman at the front desk. Unfortunately, she did not greet me or my sister with a smile or even a simple “welcome.” I asked if it would be possible for my room to be in the same building as my sister’s, as we were traveling together with our husbands. Her response was abrupt and unprofessional — she stated, “What, do you want me to get fired?” I was quite taken aback by her comment and chose not to engage further. I accepted the room in a different building and walked away. I was upset by how the situation was handled, but thankfully my husband later spoke with the assistant manager (unfortunately, I did not catch her name), who was very kind and accommodating. She was able to arrange for our rooms to be closer together, and I truly appreciated her professionalism and willingness to help. I hope this feedback is taken constructively, as I believe the initial staff member may benefit from additional training in customer service. First impressions are important, especially in hospitality.
