The room smelled, sheets had blood stains, mold in tub, floor full of dirt you couldn’t walk in your socks. The customer does not come first, I called for assistance and they never came. The price was very reasonable, but now I understand why. I would not take my wife and kids here. Sorry for writing this bad review but it’s the truth and if I can help another I will. I hope this gets you to clean up the facility then maybe things can change and the reviews will change as well. GOD Bless you

Basic

Pros: Comfortable bed, convenient location Cons: Lots of little things made for rough edges: had to wedge a folded-up paper sack behind the bed to keep it from banging against the wall every time I got in or out of the bed, nasty water, shower curtain rail installed poorly, so that the shower curtain wouldn’t stay closed, loud A/C unit, no card showing available tv channels, and as a solo traveler, it felt less than secure.

Weekend overnight

Staff/front reception was very welcoming and professional. Hotel is under renovation in some areas. Pool area was very clean and inviting. My room needed some updating, (i.e. yellowish paint, stains on some walls etc) to make it more appealing, and some general dusting but they did remodel shower, water was hot and pressure was good. Bedding was very nice. I think there may have been some remnants of mold either in carpet or air conditioner unit needed cleaning. Sinuses went bezerk and head stayed stopped up all night. A little more deep cleaning and updates and this hotel would be very nice.
