Nice, comfy beds. I booked a king suite but they put us in a room with double full beds; we made it work, but don't list rooms as available at booking if they're not. We paid for breakfast but were turned away because breakfast service was cancelled, the morning we got there. Still waiting for the refund. Overall a decent stay, but there plenty of rook for improvement.

The rooms were not air conditioned. Smoking permitted indoors throughout the property in places like stairwells, rooms, hallways. Noise in the middle of the night. The building was not secured, various entry points unlocked. Consistent stream of unregistered visitors to guest rooms. Very unsafe for families.

I didn't even stay. I was in the room for maybe 15 minutes looking for another room elsewhere. The room was disgusting. There was what looked like blood stains on the wall, possible puke on the patio, the sheets weren't changed prior to check in, the entry door looked like it may have been kicked in at some point, there was a white substance dried to the painting on the wall. Then to top it all off when I return the keys and cancel my reservation I was told to contact the GM Matt. That process was a joke. It doesn't seem like was interested in having a conversation. I also never received a refund due to the fact that I didn't stay there and now I'm receiving an email basically asking me how my stay was. So once again nobody is listening. Would never recommend to stay at this particular location. Stay far far far away.

We left as soon as we saw the room. Walking to the room you could see other doors the were duct taped together because it looked as if someone tried to break in. Our beds and the carpet were held together by duct tape. The whole place smelled like horrid BO. A staff member mentioned that they wouldn’t let their family stay there either when I returned the keys and asked for a refund. You couldn’t pay me to stay in the dumpster fire. I can’t believe the place hasn’t been condemned and they are legally running.
