Good for a last minute trip.

My selection was based on amenities, price, and location. It was my birthday weekend and wanted a little getaway. I was surprised there wasn't more than one entrance to the building (had to walk at night almost in the back of building). Although I received new towels the bed wasn't made. The pool area didn't have enough space for lounging. The staff seemed nice and had good eating selections nearby.

I stayed from Saturday to Sunday. The 3rd floor had a strong smell of what I think it was marihu@na. I didn't feel comfortable with it. I was staying only with my 12 years old daughter. It didn't feel safe to me. Nothing happened, but for precaution, I did put a towel covering the gap of the door. Door didn't have the extra safe on top of the handle. The carpet was dirty in the room and the aisle. The lady at the front desk was nice. The ladies who clean the rooms were super nice! very quiet. complementary breakfast was not inviting. I came back to same town today Tuesday and I chose a different hotel. They have a great location but the property is not in shape.

The hotel was like putting lip stick on a pig. Our room was dirty. It looks new on the outside. But our room was far from nice. There was something brown on the couch. The curtains needed a serious washing. Holes in the wall where old pictures were. Just dirty. The room needed a good cleaning from top to bottom.

THEY SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN

This is NOT a "family" hotel. I came here to visit family for 2 days. The room was dirty, issues ALL night both nights and I didnt get any sleep. I spent all night trying to protect my children from the abhorrent people that were around us. The entire floor was reaking of drugs and cigarettes, drunks were up and down the hall all night slamming doors because they could not figure out how to shut them, screaming, cussing, the lady on one side of me apparently lives there and was using her room for solicitation. The things she continued screaming is something I can not unhear on behalf of my children.they should have NEVER been subjected to, and it cant be undone. The night girl tried to get them to stop but shes only 1 person and this is apparently the norm for this hotel. One lady even stopped my 11 year old and warned him not to go near anyone because they are violent and they will throw bricks at him. I called the manager and at 11:00am he still had not shown up to work so I left messages with the assistant manager and neither one ever called me back. They do not care. I am currently waiting on a response from corporate. Do NOT stay is this hotel, it does NOT reflect the choice brand well at all.

The hotel staff lost track of what room they put me in. So at midnight… i was awaken by someone attempting to enter my room. I yelled through the door to go away and they left. 30 minutes later after almost asleep again, i was awaken again by the hotel staff knocking on my door. They asked who i was and i explained that i was here for 3 nights and paid for all 3 nights. They now are asking for my ID to prove who i am. After finally getting done and not getting much sleep…. I had to go back down at 6:30am to again get my key to work cause the locked me out. Not professional

I liked that we were able to have our fur baby with no hassle. I think the pet deposit was a little much. The front desk wasn't very friendly, at least not the way their ad claims....but I would still refer people to stay there. The room was clean. I liked that the room didn't have carpet.
