Not the cleanest when it came to one of the rooms bathrooms, had black mold in and around tub, shower mat already stuck to the tub floor. Top covers on one of the beds in the room seemed to be dirty with either chocolate or blood. When we went to front desk to question they immediately change our room for us.

Won’t return

Very old hotel with poor condition of most things in room and facility. No updates to anything. Strange smell in room on check in. Almost as if someone had previously smoked in it. Pool in poor condition made us not want to use. Hot tub out of order. Staff typically not available at front desk. Breakfast was very limited.

NO HOT WATER!! I understand that the hotel may have been busier than normal but we showered at 6:30am and we didn't even have an ounce of warm water. We had a 2 night stay. Many people were complaining about this and they didn't seem to care. The hotel wasn't even sold out, they had plenty of rooms still available. The hotel should have been able to handle this. Many people in our group showered in the afternoon because of this.
