The room was easily accessible and in a great are for restaraunts. The room could’ve been cleaner and overall the room needs to be renovated or fixed up. The hot tub wasn’t warm at all and the restaurant attached wasn’t very nice. More breakfast options would’ve been appreciated as well.

You can definitely tell they’re working on the hotel. The wall was paint had been rubbed off from the chair it looked like and the tub had a hole on the outside surround. The hotel was clean, didn’t have any odd smells, staff was super friendly, my in-laws had an adjoining room which looked very nice and must have had some updates done. I saw a couple previous reviews about the desk lamp not working—turn on or off the lamp and then click the light switch on the wall. Haha

The property is just fine for the price. It's dated, and feels poorly maintained and managed. The staff seemed indifferent to tenant inquiries and needs. We won't stay at the property again.

Updates needed.

The windows in the room have mold around them and cracked with exposed sharp edges. The carpet looks like its never been cleaned. The lamp shades have visible stains, and the headboards look they are completely dirty yet. The pluming in the shower is coming loose, and had to handle with care. The pool area ceiling is falling down and onto the ground and into both the pool and the hottub. There are many areas in the pool area where the carpeted areas are water damaged with what looks like mold growing. People are nice, but the building needs major updates.
