Dated. Dirty. Disgusting. Disappointed.
This hotel was horrible. Dirty and gross. Total bait and switch with the photos. Don’t stay here. Hopefully you read the reviews. Spend the extra money for a Holiday Inn

Many things aren't working: AC, ice machines, pool, some of the doors. It's due for a reno in December and it really needs it. I think they don't want to put any money into fixing anything before the reno so it's slowly going downhill.

They’re trying but property is very worn out
The staff was helpful and nice. The property is incredibly worn out. Very little was actually broken but things were so worn they might break down at any time. The AC was broken on a very hot day. The bathtub was so worn I couldn’t tell if it was dirty or not.

Nice staff, not so nice temperature!
The air conditioning system dis not work in the entire building. It was so hot in the rooms and the hallway. We had a sliding glass door that said we could only open 3 inches but it was so unbearable we opened it further. The staff was so nice and they were so hot and still had a smile. The ice machines did not work but the front staff had ice in a cooler for guests. The was a carnival going on below us so we heard music and laughter that was ok with us! The room we were in had a beautiful view too.

The bathtub coating is disintegrating so the underneath/inside of the structure is showing, leaving large holes...very disturbing and looks dirty. The property is very old and needs updating drastically.

Hotel not maintained
This hotel is clearly not being maintained. Our toilet did not work, the manager downstairs was kind (but seemingly the only staff member on site), we was able to locate a plunger and give it to us (to plunge the toilet ourselves). Ultimately we chose not to use the toilet in the room and is the one in the lobby. AC did not work, making for a very hot night of sleeping. Air vents in the room haven’t been cleaned/changed in a long time. Beds were ok.

The rooms and bathroom are decrepit and disgusting. I discovered bedbugs on the bed shortly after arriving and immediately requested a room change. However, the situation was unacceptable, and I checked out within a few hours.

BUGS
It was easy and affordable to book. But there were so many bugs in the room, not bed bugs, but so many dead ones and baby ones around the room. The pillow cases had a few stains on them as well. NOT a well maintained place by any means.

This is a very outdated hotel.We moved to 2 different rooms and they all.had issues. Water running, sliding door was wide open and wouldn't shut, curtains ripped. The carpet is filthy, mold in the shower. Area around hotel is sketchy. I didn't feel my car was safe in the parking garage. We would not recommend staying here.
