The pool was a salt water pool , it was on the cold side. I had to pay extra for my guest. They acted like I was trying to have extra guest stay over night in the room. I told them up front , I had guest coming to visit. They followed my guest to see where they were going. I will not stay here again. For the price I could have stayed at a nicer hotel.

Elevator would be great. In my room the toilet seat was almost fall off. There wasnt any water pressure in the shower. There was tape holding the shower head to the way BUT other family member stayed in the room beside mine and they didnt have complaints.

The beds in pictures looked good. But their beds had springs pushing up all over! Shower did work, after letting run.on hot forever it still sprayed luke warm. So shower was was a #1 at best. Vent in bathroom didnt work. Dirty bathroom floor, behind door was the worst. They did get tv working right on second night there. Rest floor in room was nasty as well, needed mopped!!! We left one night early. Really would not recommend this place. 👎

Upon arrival, I had to wait for someone to show up to check-in. We arrived at 8:15pm the pool was already closed, even though it said closes at 10pm. The lobby smelled like cigarettes a lot, even though I reserved a non-smoking room; everything smelled like cigarettes. The sink was not draining properly, I tried rinsing the coffee mug and water just sat in the sink. People were speaking loudly early in the morning. The breakfast was horrible. The waffle dough had a sour taste, it had gone bad. The biscuits had a bad smell and looked undercooked. Everything was not right to eat. There was no one at the front desk to speak to when we left.

Its ok, close to road

We requested a handicap room. Everything was ok except the shower, which had all the bars and seat, but was high walled on the tub and hard to get into.

Not for light sleepers

We’ve stayed here several times over the past yr. I enjoy it. It’s a great price for a basic room. The few things that might bother people, especially light sleepers are the super thin walls, which is typical of a hotel. Our king sized bed has a metal frame and it was SQUEAKY! Any move you made it made noise. The name on the tv is super bright and the a/c is very loud. Strangely there was only 1 nightstand. Weird but not a deal breaker unless you have to put stuff on 2 nightstands. Anyway we’ll be staying there again but it might not be for everyone.

The property is in need of some cleaning and general upkeep. We requested a non-smoking room but the hallway reeked of smoke. The floor in the room was dirty. Breakfast was terrible! They had 3 slices of bread and 2 mini muffins in the bread box, the waffle batter was so watery and the waffle maker did not completely cook the waffle. The juice was undrinkable. This property has gone down since our last visit

I paid for what I thought was a room with two queen size beds, but they were just full size making things really cramped with me and the kids. The bathroom door wouldn't close and latch. The building smelled like cigarette smoke. The room had the smallest TV one could possibly buy. The continental breakfast was bare minimum and terrible. My experience there was horrible.
