Blah! For a property with such potential, it is not run well. Front desk staff knowledge was poor, the pool was dirty, and the room was just okay. On the other hand, the dining options were great, and many of the staff were very friendly.

Beautiful hotel and beautiful rooms for 1970. This is not 1970. Everything was clean but dated. This property could stand some updating. Not planning to stay there again. I don’t mind the cost, but they could do better for the level they purport to be.

Definitely convenient, just beware to not stay on the busy side of the street. We were “upgraded” to a room that faces the pool and backed the steer. Where you could hear the garbage truck. It was definitely not nice of the manager to shove us there on the corner. Properly is a little older, nothing luxurious, but definitely comfortable for families looking for something easy and convenient.
