This hotel was disappointing to say the least. The property overall is unmaintained and in rough shape. Our room was NOT clean. Dust everywhere, mold on bathroom ceiling, food crumbs and HUGE stains on the chair. When we first arrived the stench of bleach was so strong it would lead you to believe it was clean. Not even. Our sliding door had a hanger in the track to help keep it closed. It was bad enough that we paid extra for breakfast but didn’t eat it there because who knows what the kitchen is like. Staff was nice, the property is just bad.

This property just has really not been cared for and it's just getting old, algae growing in the jacuzzi, restaraunt closed, fan & lighting wasn't working in the shower, worn carpet, I could go on and on but why bother. Basically it's maybe a $59 a night joint, maybe a little more!

There wasn’t a receptionist anywhere. After waiting for almost 10 minutes and finding someone doing laundry she helped track down a receptionist to check out. We asked for a receipt and the price on the receipt was not what was charged.

Very excellent service and very professional staff. The room was amazing. My only note would be to improve the quality of the breakfast. It wasn't very fresh. I will definitely stay there again . Maybe just go to breakfast earlier. Lol
