    Room was dirty, floors were sticky, smelled weird and no customer service... breakfast was terrible coffee was cold... elevators were not even working coming down had no button had to go through the stairs the whole time being there.. pool was covered with dirt due to making a bar non of that was said in the hotel amenities when reserving.

    The amity's were ok the only problem in the facility was the elevator not working it would go up but no buttons to come down. You have to contact the front desk to send it up to you're floor so you can come down. Then it quit working completely. There were no ice buckets in the rooms nor coffee makers either. Staff members didn't know how to make coffee in the morning. Main light in the bathroom didn't work had to use the light above the sink . There was only one wash cloth. The breakfast was ok basic amenities and that as well wasn't kept up with no muffins were replaced or the eggs . So be ware if you plan to stay here.

    Also, placing a sign that says “We apologize for the inconvenience” in front of an out-of-service elevator does not resolve the inconvenience for guests. Apologies are appreciated, but the real solution is to repair the elevator. Good service is not just about acknowledging a problem; it is about fixing it. On the positive side, the front desk staff is very friendly and courteous, and overall, the hotel looks good and is pleasant in other respects.

    We stayed in the family room it has 4 queen beds. That was cool because we needed 4 beds, but in one room. And two beds were fine but the other two were just so bad they really need new mattresses. We had to walk down the stairs from the 3rd floor or call the front desk to send the elevator up because the button didn't work

    Room wasn’t even swept, after construction all dust was on beds and floor, old wrappers of food in drawers. Soap bottle was empty. Not enough towels in room . Elevator has no push down button and after all this tried to call for something different and phone didn’t even work. Ended up just falling asleep after a long 17 hour drive I said I’m just going to sleep instead of having to walk down the stairs. Worst stay do not waste your money here.

    Easy access from the highway. The breakfast was not considered continental. Very limited and few selections. The elevator was not working properly. We were on the 3rd floor and had to take the stairs if we needed to go down, or call the front desk to have them send it up to us.

    The property was under renovation without notice to us, the rooms were left open and nasty. Our room the toilet seat was very discolored, the lid was broken, there was hair and toilet paper on the ground by the tub. The iron board had very weird discolored spot on it. We wouldn't stay here again.

    The rooms are a good size—as is the bathroom—but the housekeeping is poor. I had to switch rooms because the beds still had the sheets from the previous guests; the A/C smelled like rotten water, and there was a noticeable layer of dust throughout the room. Furthermore, the elevators don't work properly; the buttons to go down are missing, so you have to take the stairs.

    Do not book online. The price you see is not the price you will be charged. I booked for 55 a night and when I extended they charged me 79 a night. Even the nights I pre paid for, the charge went pending and never processed. Once I checked out they processed my card for 79 a night.

    The room itself was fine , the rest was not , the elevator does not work so you have to use the stairs which wouldn’t be bad except the locks on the door reset all the time so you were constantly having to go to the front desk to reset the key card to be able to get into your room. But when you tried to do that the front desk person was never there and you’d have to wait 5-10 mins for him to return. The pool was shut down and had a shut down by health inspector report on the door.
