Disliked: Amenities
This was not a great stay - but not the worst I've ever had. We checked in and they were still learning a new system...which fine I get, but it took a long time to find my reservation. Once that happened - my double bed room turned into a single bed... so that had to be corrected. We were given two single rooms which is not ideal for a family, but workable. In one room the air conditioning would not adjust or turn off, so it was an ice box. The pool was not open and by the looks of it- was gross! The grab and go breakfast, that was listed on the reservation, was not provided as promised. The elevators were also incredibly slow that it became faster to climb up and down the stairs to the 5th floor. Thank goodness we are in shape. I would not recommend this hotel to any family.

Good value if you just need a place to stay and you are not spending much time in your room. Small room. Hotel could use some updating We left each day at 9 am and didn’t get back to our room until 7:30. Amenities limited but coffee maker in room and refrigerator. Great location for shops and restaurants and train if you don’t mind walking. Staff very nice and accommodating. If you want to spend at least $100.00 or more least per night, GO FOR IT. Also, parked for free!

Wouldn’t ever stay there again!!!!

This hotel is totally not worth the money. Heed the warnings of the other reviews and don’t make the same mistake I did. This place is out dated, dirty, the porch was closed near the pool so there was no where to sit outside. The lady checking me in didn’t even check my id upon check in. Tv didn’t work and there was a power surge when we were there where all the electric went out for a short period and made the elevator stop working. The workers didn’t seem to care. The tub was absolutely filthy and the toilet seat was so loose you couldn’t sit on it (not that I would have bc it was kinda dingy) I would totally never stay here again. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money and stay at the hotel down the street.
