The staff at the hotel were exceptionally friendly and responsive, which made our stay more enjoyable. The lobby was inviting, and the pool area looked well-maintained and appealing. The hallways were clean and in good condition. Our room, while basic, met our needs adequately. The beds were comfortable, and housekeeping did an excellent job; we arrived to a clean and cool room, which was a great welcome. A few drawbacks: The elevator and gym were uncomfortably warm, which detracted from our experience. Additionally, the air conditioning in our room began making noise in the middle of the night and continued to do so, disrupting our sleep. A significant concern was the presence of large cockroaches in the breakfast area, which was quite off-putting

Definitely worth staying

I was a little anxious atter reading several recent negative reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised! The room was very clean with several pillows on the bed. Refrigerator got really cold and both it and the microwave were clean. Everything was fully stocked. The bathroom is a little small, but not inconvenient. I will say however, that the tub need needs redone (not replaced) bc it's peeling a good bit. I loved the water pressure and toiletries. The AC worked wonderfully. The tv remote didn’t work 100%, but we weren't awake long enough to reakky watch it anyways. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. I seen people talking about the bland breakfast. I appreciate this because a lot of people can't have salt due to medical reasons. Breakfast had a lot of options (hot & cold). I will definitely stay at this location again in the future. I wasn't ready to leave!

I would not recommend this hotel. The entry automatic doors were broken and remained so for our entire stay. They were instead blocked off with luggage carts and labeled with a handwritten sign. Entry traffic was rerouted through an adjacent door that once belonged to a now defunct/closed bar area. The door handles and glass were covered in finger prints and were never cleaned during our stay. We arrived a few hours early and while we were allowed an early check-in we had to sacrifice our king beds for two queens. Housekeeping never showed up once. Some staff were friendly and helpful. Others seemed thoroughly disinterested and couldn’t have cared less. The elevator to our room was filthy and cramped. Fingerprints were on everything and crumbs and debris were all over the floor. The bathrooms were small and cramped, the shower fixtures were old and outdated. The shower stall was heavily caulked and discolored by mildew. Pool area was always out of towels. Used towels were left discarded all over the pool deck and were never picked up by staff. When I asked the front desk for towels an annoyed woman got me a few hand towels. The patio adjacent to the pool was occupied by several youths dressed for the street, drinking liquor from glass bottles and smoking marijuana. Halls often stunk of marijuana, too. The TV remote died. Staff fumbled through an ice bucket of mismatched remotes and had none that worked and no batteries. I left and bought batteries myself.

Convenient to where I needed to be. Staff was friendly, breakfast was good. However, sheets had not been changed prior to my arrival, refrigerator was dirty, had someone's leftover drinks in it, tiny flying bugs in the bathroom, no sugar/creamer packets and only decaf coffee in the room.

Stayed here multiple times over the last 2 years. Things are getting bad at this property. Decent price for a decent room was my go to for a quick getaway. But the rooms have slacked in cleanliness. This last stay the door would not latch on it's own. It was in the middle of the night when i realized it. Just had to rig things til the morning. Bedding seem to be just thrown together. Dirt and dust on the headboard. At least linen was clean this time. That's the 1 good thing i can say. Might not come back anymore
