Room was old and outdated, low quality, squeaky bed frame and mattress. Room smelled of strong cleaner. Fan was very loud. Lobby and breakfast choices were excellent but tables needed a cleaning between guests. All tables were dirty and had coffee cups still sitting on the tables. Pool did not look kept up and clean.

Disappointing Stay- Not Worth the Price I had high expectations given the price of this hotel, but unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to it. The customer service was lackluster at best. The concierges were unfriendly and seemed more annoyed than willing to help. While the breakfast did offer a variety of options, cleanliness was a major issue throughout the stay. Our room was not adequately cleaned: there was hair in the shower, and the faucet in the bathroom wouldn’t stop dripping, which was both annoying and wasteful. For the rate they charge, the property was underwhelming. There are plenty of other options at a similar price point in the area, and I would strongly advise selecting one of them.

Great service

This was on of our stays on a five day roadtrip and I can say that out of all the places we went this hotel had the BEST service. The two men at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. Every employee we talked to was happy to be there doing their job.

Hide your family and friends!

Everything was going wonderful until I started getting calls from the office about petty things, like a guests bike being in the hallway by our door, and asking if we were planning on having guests overnight, and I found that very odd considering it was still afternoon. My advice: hide your family and friends inside your room including their bikes, strollers, etc. and keep your door closed and locked.
