Overall decent for price, could use updates

The first floor was under construction, understandably it looks all torn up. They did a good job of keeping the area clean despite the construction. The room is dated and the hallway was hot and muggy and carpet in the hallway was stained. The toilet looked dirty but I think it was stained. The floor and grout was aged and dirty looking. But the shower was clean and worked fine. The pool was decent but aging (stained tiles, water damage walls). Oh and my in room coffee maker didn’t work. The saving grace was the clean and comfortable bed, and quiet room. Also the staff was very friendly and efficient with check in and check out, and asked me if everything was okay. Breakfast was decent. The stay was overall comfortable and met my needs but the room was pretty run down (not something the staff could have done anything about in the moment). I hope the renovations are continued beyond the lobby and into the rooms, then it will be a much nicer hotel. It is decent for the price.

We got to the room and the bedding on both beds were dirty. There were streaks on the toilet- DISGUSTING! The hot tub was extremely dirty, it made us all itch and we had to immediately take showers. Will not be returning.

The whole property is very ran down. But still was clean, good service and everything worked. Just everything looks so worn and needs a fresh coat from stains on carpets in hallway, room and lobby to swimming area had stained floors, water leaks and stains on walls and chairs falling apart. Made me feel uncomfortable especially traveling with kids.
