Dirty rooms. Hallways dirty & cluttered with furniture & boxes. Musty, moldy smell everywhere. Security door was propped open most of the day & when not propped open anyone could still walk right in without key access. Pool had an overwhelming chemical smell to it, between that & the temperature & steam, made it hard to breathe in there. 2 floors & no elevator, had to lug all our bags & cooler up & down the stairs. Non guests coming in & out all day, eating free breakfast which was 👎, using the bathrooms & pool. No one refilled food or cleaned up throughout meal. Would NEVER stay here again even if it was free…

We got what we paid for. The beds were comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised by the continental breakfast options and seating area. When we needed extra soaps, the staff were accommodating. Unfortunately, the room could’ve been better. The paint was peeled off of a portion of the ceiling, the walls had some stains, the smoke detector was fastened to the ceiling with black tape, the bathroom shower/sink were not cleaned and the sheets, though smelled clean, had what appeared to be a blood stain. I think there could’ve mainly been improvements in regard to cleanliness. The kids enjoyed the pool and it was clean but the pool room was VERY hot. Though there is needed room for improvement, after speaking with the staff, it does seem like, with the new management takeover, they are heading in the right direction, changes are being made and have been very open to feedback.

Did not know the hotel was under construction. Half the furnishings were outside the entrance to the hotel. None of the amenities were available for use. The pictures do not match the property. The pool was horrendous.

The service was nice. The front desk staff was very friendly. Our room was decent. There is no elevator which was a bummer because I had to haul our luggage and a baby up the stairs. The property was a bit messy. I don't know if they are in the middle of remodeling some of the areas or what. There was a bunch of chairs just sitting outside the front door. Breakfast was in the lobby because the breakfast room was being painted. The ice machine didn't work, and didn't look like it had worked for a while. Half the vending machines were empty that I saw. The room was clean. It was a little noisy though by the highway.
