Room was very quiet and bed was comfortable. Air conditioner was noisy which is common for the type of air conditioner. Some of the furnishings were in rough shape. Water pressure in the shower was very good but the faucet control seemed to need work. Pool area was fine however the lights were exceptionally bright. Some of the jets in the hot tub did not work. There was a water dispenser in the exercise room but no water jug. There were no tissues in the tissue dispenser in the bathroom. We arrived in the dark and didn’t see any lit signage for the property. There were a couple of holes in the bathroom wall above the sink. I’m not sure what might have been missing there.

This is an older hotel, the room was outdated, and they was a very strong chemical smell, we told the gentleman at the front deck and he helped us problem solve the issue. We could have moved to a different room, but that wasn't going to work for us. We ended up with a fan blowing out the window all night long. Bath tubs were very slippery , my husband who was handicapped almost fell. We ask for an accessible handicap room and were placed so far away from the front door it was a long walk for him. Room 132 and Room 130.

From the moment you step into lobby all you see is an outdated run down appearance. The lobby, restaurant and guest room all smelled musty. Guest room mattress is old and extremely worn out. Bathroom not much better. Microwave was dirty inside and room looked like no one bothered to dust it at all. The only positive is the kindness of the staff and the ample parking. I would not recommend this place. This property has the potential to be amazing. Until then, its not.
