Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I have stayed in hotels all over the world, even third world countries. I have never stayed in a hotel in the United States that was as filthy, unkept, and understaffed as this one. There is black mold in the bathroom. When I hung up my washcloth over the bathtub faucet to dry, I came back to see a completely rusty washcloth. Rust is literally coming out of the pipes. The carpet is so filthy and damaged, I've just never seen anything like it. There's so understaffed that when I went to check out, no one was at the counter. When I inquired a woman that worked there told me that there's only one person behind the counter and that she does multiple jobs and I would just have to wait.I waited 15 minutes before I left. Terrible place to stay for the money spent!!!!

I enjoyed the quiet halls. My room was close to the elevator and you did not hear any noise. The parking was easy and convenient. I wish the restaurants were open 24/7 but I have stayed here before and will stay again.

This is a run down outdated hotel with advertised pictures that don’t match the facilities actual amenities. The breakfast was very limited; although, they advertise a full breakfast. The swimming pool wasn’t an updated one not to mention from the looks it wasn’t sanitary. The bar area was outdated, one low budget tequila, and the casino only had slot machines, are you serious. Please tear down and rebuild or spend on updates for this outdated facility to the standards of travelers looking for a great quality stay that matches the prices you’re charging!
