Nice clean hotel at 25 - 30% less than the downtown hotels. Nothing fancy but the rooms are clean, the staff is friendly, the shower is hot and has good pressure, and there's a lovely inground pool in the summer season. I would stay here again.

Run down and smelly. In need of a renovation.

Horrible dank and stale odor!! The entire property — corridors, rooms, dining hall — needs all the smelly old carpeting to be ripped out, then thoroughly cleaned and sanitized, and freshly painted and re-carpeted. Moreover, several rooms and beds seem to be infrequently occupied or used. We experienced biting dust mites in one of the two beds in the room assigned to us!

it was a great stay we love the indoor and outdoor pool and the hotel accommodations were great! Thank you so much. Keep up the good work. The only I wouldn’t say bad thing, but maybe annoying thing was that our key card had some issues in the morning. Other than that, it was a great day thank you.

In need of major renovations. The roof was leaking and the indoor pool was slimy. Our ac was leaking so the carpet was wet near it. The comforter was stained we used our own. Food was good.

Decent place to stay. The price is a bit high for the age of the property. Staff is good and work with what they got. The owners of this hotel should take some money and replace carpet in rooms and food areas. Try to improve the place with a small percentage of the overpriced rate. The property will only get worse with age if no improvements are made.

Mixed bag …

My main complaint was the clanging air conditioner that went off with a bang every two minutes. No sleep in two nights. The hotel needs some sprucing up. The rooms are clean, though. The staff was very nice and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and varied, offering something for even picky eaters.

The hotel is in a good location. The staff is very nice and helpful. The beds are soft which were not comfortable to my family. The hotel itself is clean but desperately needs a renovation.

The only thing I would like to see them improve upon is their accessibility. Being on a walker and a cane I had a difficult time manoeuvring the doors and walkways that were not accessible. Other than that, it was clean, quiet and comfortable, and I would stay there again.
