We were very thankful to stay at this hotel. The pool looked amazing but we arrived too late and had to leave too early to swim. The staff was excellent, above excellent! The rooms were clean. The rooms however were pretty outdated and kind of sketchy on the construction of it. But we were tired and slept well. Also there were no key entries on the building doors, made me feel unsafe as to who could come into the hotel. Appreciate the big room that accommodated 6 of us. Thank you.

In need of some much needed updates. Looks the same as to when I was in college 20 years ago and smells that old too. Ceiling tiles missing in pool area, rust stains on ceiling and several areas in pool area. Carpet in hallways stained and rippling from age. Tv stand and other furniture in room showing age and wear.

The room was in need of repairs/maintenance - looked like bandaid maintenance. You could tell it was an older building. The staff were great, very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very limited and did not offer anything that was healthy ie: eggs/Protein. Kids loved the pool area and had a blast.
