Eh, it was definetly an older hotel. Very dated but I must say it was clean for it being so vintage. The staff was 5 Star all the way. As soon as you mention any need they immediately get right to it. The staff was probably the best part of the stay. That type of hospitality isn’t too common these days.

Terrible hotel, outdated and dirty. Stains on furniture, hair and bugs on the bed, Stains on the window to an unmowed courtyard, pool was ice cold and not what was presented online. Tub had soap scum and after taking shower the tub wouldn't drain, bathroom sink wouldn't drain after brushing teeth. This hotel should be taken off your list. I checked out within 2 hours of checking in, I was promised a full refund.

The room was just fine, the property itself needs quite a bit of attention. Grounds and building are not maintained at all. No fitness facility to use. Staff was not helpful and quite frankly seemed like they hated their jobs.

Been said in many reviews before but do not stay here. Not maintained, shower will beat you into oblivion, no protien offered at breakfast, air conditioner rattled the walls when it came on. Sheetrock exposed on many walls, just a bad experience overall. Someone needs to actually care about this place but apparently no one does.

The hotel is hopefully under renovations. It was hard to tell if they are actively upgrading it or just stopped. The courtyard was not open the grass not even mowed. When we pulled into the parking lot we were unsure if it was even open. We are not particularly picky people but the pool was dirty there was a lot to be desired for the hotel. I really hope it’s under construction and I booked it online unsure of what it looked like we would not have stayed here if I had not precooked and prepaid for the room.
