Amanda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was very nice, hot in the hallway but the room was cool and quiet. The hotel is pet friendly but they warned that there will be a $200 fine if the pets are left unattended, we were there only for one night, but we always travel with our dogs and there are times we have to leave them in the room for a bit, so keep that in mind.

Better options

Room smelled horrible, damp and musky. Very outdated with things broken or falling apart. This hotel needs a complete overhaul. I spend a lot of times in hotels and this by far was the worst conditioned I’ve been in. Staff was friendly and courteous.

Overpriced/ Dirty Hotel

The hotel was very dirty. The halls and stairs we disgusting with visible piles of dirt against the base boards The room was so humid the carpets felt wet. The room was clean and neat either There was a hole in the bathroom door, the curtains were torn in spots, the chairs were dirty and overly worn I did not try the pool because everything else was so dirty I was not willing to risk the cleanliness of the pool It was not worth 200+ for one night
Rachel, 1-night trip

Ok stay

Staff was great, but furniture etc. worn and dirty.
Robert, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good hotel for price point

The staff was friendly. There is no elevator so we had to carry everything up a small flight of stairs. There was a pool which was good. Breakfast was good! The furniture was really tore-up. We have stayed here before but our last room was nicer than this one but we would stay again!
Taryn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Quick stay

Stayed one night for a dance competition. Our room was clean and comfortable and we were happy with our stay. The location was decent for what we needed and the parking lot was well lit. Breakfast was ok…decent choices and our daughters enjoyed the pool for a bit. Staff was nice.
