Outdated, Musty, Damp, Dirty, Old, No Views

The photos of this hotel are misleading. It is beaten up and run down. The views are not of the lake but of the parking lot. The carpets are filthy and stained. My room smelled musty and damp and was dark. Everything is chipped and worn. Bathroom tub gross. It made me sad to be there. They charge a "resort fee" even though there are zero resort amenities.

Go for location only

I have stayed here a few times. Nothing changes. Same issues. For the price a night they want you would think at least there would be water un the water filter machine in the gym and the TV work. It needs an overall update. Great location but oh so dated!

The staff was exceptional. They went above to help us with a last minute wedding chaos. The location is fantastic. The building is a bit rundown but nice. We enjoyed our stay waiting for our cruise to start.
Midnight view of airport from our room.

The rooms are updated and clean, that being said the common areas including the hallways, restaurant and lobby are outdated and need remodel. The hallways look unclean, especially the carpet. There was a fire alarm at 4am and the staff did not provide any information to the guests.

The hotel is run down. Carpets a ruined, beds are so old they have body dimples in them. The upgraded shower wasn’t pitched properly so all the water runs out of the shower into the floor of the bathroom. The window ac units don’t operate properly and freeze up overnight. Dust was horrific even after service came in dust was back worse.
