There was no hot water during our stay. We didn’t find out until our last night why. They didn’t message us our leave a message up in the room. There was a note at the desk but not until everyone started to complain. We were told if we left we would get a full refund but only got a partial refund after leaving at 8PM and finding another hotel 30 minutes away. My daughter had a competition that next day. Additionally the entire first floor smelled like marijuana.

There was no hot water both nights of our stay! Calls to the front desk resulted in someone saying, we are aware of the problem. It’s an old hotel. The front desk staff had a care less, attitude. No help whatsoever. I would never recommend this hotel.

What a strange weekend… Upon check-in, we were informed that the hotel would be without hot water for the weekend. Since we were only staying one night, and planned on using the pool, we decided it wasn’t worth it to find other accommodations. The front desk staff were PHENOMENAL, though, and took good care of us. The price was fair, the common area in the lobby was well-maintained. Our room definitely had some cleanliness issues (stained sheets, possibly old blood?) and the walls behind the doors looked as if they could use a good wipe down. The room didn’t have any odor though, and was well-stocked. My only other gripe was that housekeeping entered my room 2 hours before checkout while I was using the bathroom. Scared me half to death! As someone who worked at a hotel for almost a decade myself, I would still recommend this location. Despite some of my issues, we had a great stay and will most likely be returning. Hopefully with the addition of hot water!

You get what you pay for, honestly. The room was fine, but a bit cramped and oddly set up. I did not have a do not disturb door hanger, and I didn't have hot water on my final day. But if you need somewhere mostly just to sleep for a night or two, it does the job. There are definitely far worse places to go.
