8/10 Very good

Enjoyable stay

Room was nice and clean. Enjoyed the Mexican restaurant on site for an after hours drink and appetizer. Breakfast was average. Could have had more of a variety of food.

Dmarion, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Could just use a good cleaning. We could tell its a work in progress. This hotel has so much potential!! I would suggest a way to cool it better. With the pool in an area that is open, the lobby and seating area feel hot and humid. The workers were all friendly and helpful.

A Great Place to Hole Up

A little dated and gaudy but clean and nice. Staff are cool and friendly. The Mexican restaurant on location is good too. I got the house margarita which had a heavy pour and a chicken quesadilla.

Didn't know before getting there that they were under remodel. Plus the swimming pool was closed for the remodel as well. Otherwise great location and the Mexican restaurant was amazing.

Hotel review

Our stay was good. Room was clean and comfortable. Toilet seat was very loose. Bathroom a bit dirty, dirt in corners. A channel guide for the TV would have been handy to have. Tables in the breakfast area all seem to be wiggly. Breakfast items were a bit subpar.

4/10 Fair

Disappointing

They say it is being renovated when you get there, but it was not posted on Hotels.com when we booked, The place is dirty, mold in the bathrooms, and while it did have a pathetic breakfast. there was almost no food and no one attending to the area. I want to add over the past 7-8 years we have stayed here once every 3 months and it is just getting wprst every time

Will stay there again
