The room was in need of repairs/maintenance - looked like bandaid maintenance. You could tell it was an older building. The staff were great, very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very limited and did not offer anything that was healthy ie: eggs/Protein. Kids loved the pool area and had a blast.

Breakfast was cereal and yogurt and waffles. Some prepackaed baked goods, coffe, milk. Rooms are un need of an update but they served their purpose. It was 2 adults and 5 teens. They said the pool could have been better but they still had fun. Restaurant doenstairs does reapect google appointments and i recommend because they are super busy!!! Over all a solid 4 of 5.

Convenient, inexpensive adequate hotel

Stayed one night before a campus visit the next day. The hotel is clean and the front desk staff was friendly. The indoor water park area is nice for families with kids. The hotel itself is showing its age and could use some updating, but nothing was uncomfortable or unusable, just worn. The breakfast was adequate but was very carb-heavy, the only hot item offered was waffles. Some protein or fruit would have been welcome.

Room was fairly clean. Upholstery had stains and just looked dirty. Staff very friendly and helpful. A continental breakfast provided as well. There is a large water "park" inside. We did not use, but sure looked like a family fun time to have.

Not bad. Not great.

The lady at the front desk was great as was the restaurant. But, the rooms were "clean". The hallways were in need of love. The entire place felt... "damp". Not a bad place, but not a great place. The building needs some serious TLC

The hotel staff was very nice. The hotel though is very rundown and in need of some maintenance and improvements. The Mexican restaurant inside the hotel is absolutely amazing!
