The air conditioning was broken, the event center smelled like a truck stop bathroom, and the carpets tiles were lifting on the edges so much I almost tripped multiple times. The rafters in the main hotel are so dusty that they look like they are covered in rust. If I never come back to this hotel it will be too soon.

My one night stay was very good, the room was nice and well maintained, staff was very friendly and I even got a free upgrade thanks to some unexpected bookings. Location isnt great, but it's centrally located, so it's not far to places you want to go. Would definitely stay here again.

Average. Needs updating.

Hotel shows its age. Our shower had rust around faucet. Did not support usb charging. No clock and couldnt find a do not dosturn sign. Staff was friendly but not overly accommodating. Bartender needed an assistant. He was working hard with a large party. Overall average stay but nothing to brag about.
