Seen better days...

We chose this hotel .as a place to stay an extra day due to the price, location, and availability. Check in was great as the man at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The lobby was nice and inviting. Our room was of a good size and the bed was comfy. Carpet was spotted in several places and needed a cleaning or refresh. The walls are pretty thin and sound travels well. It served its purpose but but would not recommend for more than 1 night.

Pool Dirty and Dated Facility

The location was good, staff was friendly, and enjoyed our breakfast. Facility is dated, however and was not very clean: the pool was in. Very bad condition; full of leaves and not heated, so super cold March, the floors by the elevator were also dirty.

Wrong room but the rest was great.

The hotel was nice and the staff were great! Our only complaint was that we booked a King bed room and were given a room with 2 queen beds. The host said he couldn’t change it because the information sent over from Hotels.com was for 2 Queen beds. I showed him that my confirmation was clearly for a king bed but he couldn’t help us. Not the end of the world. He was super friendly and kind about it.
