I had a very disappointing stay at this hotel. I had to change rooms three times because of an ant infestation. The third room looked fine when I checked it, but by morning, ants had appeared there too. Additionally, the coffee maker was not functioning. The front desk staff was polite and tried to be helpful, but when I asked about a refund after moving rooms for the second time, I was told management would need to decide, and I wouldn’t get an answer for at least 24 hours. Unfortunately, I was only staying one night and needed a clean, functional room to sleep and shower. Although the location was convenient for my needs, the overall experience was stressful and uncomfortable. I would not stay here again and cannot recommend it to others.

My partner and I stayed here for two days for an event nearby. It wasn’t the best, but it wasn’t the worst either. The area around the property is quite dark and shady, but the hotel doors do get locked at a certain time each night. This is a downside if you plan to stay out late, as you’ll need to wait for a manager to unlock the doors for you. However, it’s also appreciated that the doors are locked at night.

Very old room. Nothing like pictured on your website! Old furniture, dark dirty stinky hallways and noisy air conditioner in the room. I booked this room for my son and his family and expected it to be a 7.6 rating and it is probably a 2. Spent 180. dollars for a dump. Very upset!!
