Meh

I really wanna give these guys some credit…I wanna say it was great…but it just wasn’t as good as what I expected from a rating of 8.8 on Hotels.com and the price we paid. The staff was awesome and helpful, very friendly. The breakfast was plentiful and warm and there was a little bit of variety, but overall what you typically get for a hotel breakfast. The pool area seemed nice, but I admit I didn’t use it. The beds were comfortable and we rested well. The location is great. But….there are obviously two sections to this place…a newer, much nicer section that is likely clean and well appointed…I caught a glimpse of a room that had nice furniture, a fireplace, and was very roomy. For the older section, which we stayed in, it is dated, dirty, and worn. The air condition struggled to keep up and was noisy. The sink didn’t drain. The bathroom floor had so much dirt in the grout and corners I wished I had shower sandles to wear in there, the toilet is obviously original and was tiny…the towels literally had holes in them and were stained (I don’t even want to think about what the stains were). There was also simply not enough parking in front of the rooms and the spaces are tiny…so we parked around the building to avoid our car being hit by doors of other cars. So, we had the good, the bad, and the ugly. I wouldn’t tell you to not stay there…but do yourself a favor and choose the new rooms! I felt a bit ripped off to be honest.

Great location. Suites were huge! Didn’t really have an outdoor seating area which was a bummer for us. Older hotel but kept up nicely. Breakfast was not great but I’m noticing most hotels these days don’t have good breakfast.
