Overall, I thought the stay there was okay. The complaint I have was that when it came to taking a shower, I couldn't adjust the water temperature. The water was purely hot only, and the faucet wouldn't allow me to adjust temperature, thus I wound up not taking as complete of a shower as I would have otherwise because of the water being excessively hot.

Rooms were just average clean. Shower only hot water that would scald you, so couldn't take a shower. When I reported to the front desk it was like oh well, we are working on that. If shower not working properly don't rent the room. Breakfast was not impressive at all, coffee so strong it was undrinkable. Won't we going back there. The price of the room as good.

I showed up at 4:30pm to check in and was told my room was not ready. I was finally able to get into my room at 5:30. I booked a queen bed single and got put in a double twin room with no asking if that was ok. The pool was not working which after reading reviews has been down for many months. The "breakfast" was some bread and bagels. Overall, a very disappointing stay. Definitely won't be back.

Not very clean

Very old and run down. They are fixing some rooms but it needs to be completed gutted. Carpet had bad stains, the bed had stains on the side of them. I had to switch to another room as the one they gave me had a dirty floor. The room they replaced it with had this huge stain on the floor and a very noisy refrigerator. Staff was nice but this place needs everything replaced and a new coat of paint. I would not stay here again
