The room was terrible. The bathroom was barely clean and appeared to have mold growing. The sheets were visibly dirty and the floors were not clean either. There were also roaches. I would not recommend this hotel AT ALL.

Stay far away.
This was the worst hotel room I have ever had. Nothing worked. The TV,.no plugs, the air conditioners was like being in a jet engine. The front desk guy was unbelievably rude and would not answer questions or even speak to me only my husband. He left right after we checked in and could not get a hold of him.

Rooms were clean but basic. Beds and pillows not super comfortable. It was a great location and front desk attendant was wonderful. No hair dryer or iron. Pool is small and does not look inviting. Booked last minute and town was sold out so it served its purpose.

The room could’ve been nice but there were several things where a score of 2 or 3 really seals it. Check in was pleasant but if I show the pictures you’d get what I mean. The tub was filthy I could not get into it and the paint job was bad. The bed was clean and a bit hard but sleep capable.

There was a bug in the bed when we woke up in the morning. It bit my daughter all over her back. I told the front desk and show him a video of the bug crawling in the bed. He proceeded to tell me that the hotel was remodeled 2 yrs ago and that he has never seen any bug since then. This is my second time staying here. First time it was ok but this second time was horrible.

Great location but in poor condition
This is a run down hotel in the best downtown location. We had to switch out our room due to a broken bed and noise above. When we got the new room the fridge, microwave and tv didn’t work🙄- the only great thing about the place was the excellent staff service which apologized for the state of ill repair.

The staff at the front desk were not friendly or professional even rude to their employees. Our TV stopped working and we went to the front desk to notify them at the beginning of the AM and get the tv working again did nothing but the older gentleman who was taking care of everything maybe maintenance man was the one who took his time to fix the tv
