Although the staff at the front desk were kind and willing to help, our room was still not ready 1 hour after we were scheduled to check in. Since we were on a schedule, they gave us a different room, but it still was not totally clean. The carpet did not look fully vacuumed (there were bits of fast food on areas of the carpet) and there was dust and gunk on the table and in the corners of the room. The beds were clean, but the rest of the room looked like it was rushed through. We were only there for one night, so it wasn’t a big deal and we stayed, but next time I think we will book elsewhere…

My family stayed one night at this hotel because of location and it had an indoor pool. The staff were very friendly upon our arrival. However, the pool was fairly small. It was too crowded and very limited seats. We ended up not being able to swim. There were pieces of hair on the sheets. The top blanket was rough and very thin. Also, the bathroom floor looked dirty. I did like how the room came with a keurig machine and the dove dispensers.

It’s been 12 hours since checking out and I have yet to receive the $20 back. There were also people screaming and pounding on doors for over an hour after midnight. Also had someone throw up on the floor right in front of our door. Other than that, good stay.
