Hotel staff pleasant upon arrival, easy check in. Room was clean but less to be desired. We did not use any of the amenities or stay for breakfast before leaving. The room above us was noisy and we could hear people stomping around but not the hotels fault.

Was told after check in that they didn’t have a dog room available. Person working the check in was not friendly, rude and then for shift change. Had to book somewhere else. Did say hi when I walked past him smoking at the front door. He finished his cigarette before coming to the counter.

We only stayed one night. It’s in an industrial area. The room had a weird smell and the air conditioning was extremely loud. Breakfast is small and someone spilled scrabble eggs on the floor and staff wouldn’t clean it up.

The property itself was a great place to stay ; but there was tough roads to hotel area as well as a sketchy motel in front of parking lot that was poorly maintained. Dining area was a bit too small to accommodate guests and felt cramped for most of the travelers.

Decent room, great breakfast

The hotel looks older and could use renovating. The room seemed decently clean but smelled musty. The continental breakfast in the morning had many choices and was the best part of the stay.

Okay but

My expectations, set by the online pictures, weren't met during my stay. The carpet was old and dark, and the pool area had a distinct, musty odor, suggesting it wasn't well-maintained. Given this experience, I will try to avoid both this specific hotel and its brand in the future.
