This is a tired and dirty hotel. Would not recommend to family and friends. Although the bed was comfortable, the room was noisy. Walls seemed thin and could hear dogs barking a very loud traffic outside. Reported that our refrigerator was not working and was making noises. No maintenance available according to staff. The check in area was sticky and dirty. Floors throughout the hotel needed to be vacuumed and showed signs of wear.

The hotel was nice, but nothing out of the ordinary. The front desk staff was excellent and very helpful. The room was standard, but we found hairs stuck to the bathtub and wall in the bathroom. On the first day, I found a small cockroach behind the door—not sure where it came from. I didn’t report it since I checked the rest of the room and didn’t find more. The pool was clean and nice, just a bit cold. I found the breakfast a bit overpriced for the quality—everything was cold and there wasn’t much variety. I’d give it a 3 out of 5 mainly because of the cleanliness, but the young man at the front desk definitely deserves a 10/10.

The only real issue was the noise level. We happen to be there an event with tons of children. with parents who allow them to just run all over unsupervised running up and down the hallway. After hours and doors slamming. The hotel was nice and the employees were extremely friendly and helpful.

Overnight in Lancaster

Great overnight stay, Mohamad, front desk manager was very helpful with help for our pet dog as well as suggestions for things to do. He always greeted us when we passed through the lobby. In and out parking was also appreciated as well as being able to park in garage after checking out. Would stay here again.

Not happy!

I was very very unhappy with the lack of adequate accessories in the room. When I booked, I was not understanding that this room, explained to me by the hotel, as a ‘handicap’ room had no closet, to hang clothes, just two hooks on a wall. No iron/ironing board. So even if I was handicapped, I wouldn’t need to iron and hang my clothes? Discrimination! Shame! HOTEL.COM did not tell me that accessible means a room with no standard amenities! We were 3 ladies, there for the weekend to attend formal functions in the community. We had a lot of clothes to iron out, to hang!
