Older facility, and kinda rundown in the halls and rooms. Breakfast area is small, and breakfast was just adequate but not special. (They said they are about to renovate, so hopeful pay attention to the mold in the showers and poor and shoddy materials/workmanship, and upgrade the rooms which need it the most) Pool area was nice. They tried upcharging at check out with extra fees that were not disclosed, as a tourism fee by the city. First they said it was an add on tax. After discusion with the front desk and mgr , they waived the tacked on cost and were nice about it. Even stating it is a problem that patrons get hit with on the backend after their stays and realize they've been overcharged. We had not used any extra incidentals.

When we arrived to our hotel room, we were stocking up refrigerator and found leftover food and beer. The room was a bit messy. Still the floors were dirty and had an odd smell. I let the front desk know that night they took the beer and didn’t acknowledge anything else.
