Great location

Great location and the room was clean and well stocked. Door jam looked like it was kicked in and replaced leaving a gap to the outside so it was very noisy for most of the night (Sat). The bed was extra firm and too hard for my taste.

The most recent Google reviews made me skeptical about booking but the king room overlooking the pool was clean aside from a couple cigarette burns in the comforter no weird smells and the bathrooms where nice aside from the tub almost feeling greased when showering a grab bar or traction pads would be a nice addition

Three nite stay, room was fine and bed was comfortable. Don't count on having the Continental breakfast because they ran out of food first day there and didn't seem to worry about replenishing. Staff could've cared less sadly!

I am requesting a refund. We didn't stay at the hotel. After checking in, we realized it was dirty, rooms smelled of animals and pulling back the comforter, the sheets were dirty.

The smoke detector was not in working order. Only part of it was on the wall with wires hanging out of it. The pool was closed for what reason I don't know. Disappointing as we were planning to swim while we were there. It was quite noisy there. You could hear people outside the room talking at all hours and clomping down the outside stairwell. It was quite warm in the room and if you tried to cool it down, the unit would blow directly on the bed causing a major draft on your body. There was no way to redirect the airflow. Also, our in room phone rang once around 3 in the morning. Just enough to wake us from a deep sleep. Hence it was not a good restful stay for us.

Keep looking keep driving

there were gaps around the door weather stripping was worn so heater ran constantly, the bathroom door had no handle and i cut hand on piece of metal, none of the outlets worked only a power strip not sure that's up to code, and the room phone didn't work so couldn't call the front desk to locate the ice maker that ended up being broken and the front desk didn't have any ice to offer. The breakfast area was a mess at 6pm so i had no desire to check out breakfast, although should have when the in-room coffee maker didn't work. Thats after a night of people walking around and yelling at 3 am and again banging on doors at 7am. No staff around and remember couldn't call. i wasn't about to go out there as it seemed like some of the rooms have people living there and treating it like a low rent apartment building.

The front desk person was rude. The bathroom had poop all over it. There were people under the influence in the parking lot. The police patrolling the parking lot while trying to check-in. This hotel is not family friendly. Pool was "closed for maintenance". Never even checked-in took my family to a different hotel. Did not feel safe

I chose this facility to spend Valentines Day Eve with my love because of the down town location and the indoor pool. We came to learn that the pool has been out of service for weeks, and Expedia still advertises a place with a pool to use. The front desk attendant told us the pool “might” be ready around 5pm. Not so much.I was told this reservation is non refundable and so we never got to swim. The whole place stinks like chlorine and the pool is still full of nasty water with a sign that says “no swimming.” The breakfast area is dirty at best and the food looks old and picked at. The room had a dirty toilet and remnants of expectorated toothpaste splattered about the sink and bathroom counter proving the room had not been cleaned prior to our stay. Pretty gross place.

Worst Hotel I've Ever Stayed At

Do not stay here! The new owners are not spending money on improvements. We went through 3 different rooms and all were very dirty. We saw heavily stained rugs, dust and dirt on vanities and hairs on floors and walls. I have no problem when a hotel houses local underprivileged persons but they shouldn't be beside full paying vistor guests. When you see pumpkins and plants in windows of hotel rooms, you know the rooms are rented by the month. I have stayed at this hotel for many years as I am a salesman and haven't seen anything as dirty ever. The location is convenient but not worth staying at any price. The 3rd room we were showed had no smoke detectors!
This picture shows the suite shown on the website except the rugs are so dirty now.
poor install of toilets and a dirty floor,
No smoke detector in the room. Really?
