The exhaust fan in the bathroom did not work. And you can see where the moisture had ran down the wall. The exhaust fan itself was filthy nasty dirty
And the night we were there, it rained, and the window leaked pretty bad.
And you really can't call what they have for breakfast....breakfast.
This property is amazing. Room is very clean, staff is extremely friendly. Very happy with this choice. Already made a second reservation for February as we are in town monthly for a flea market.
Welcoming to pets. But, bathtub didn’t drain, toilet ran constantly, no stopper in bathroom sink, holes in the wall. Heater wouldn’t go to auto and on high burned us out and on low froze us
Clean, comfortable, discreet, business friendly, and excellent staff. The only knock is the hotel could use a facelift and upgrades. Great stay overall tho.

Staff was great. Room was ok..holes in curtains & a hole in the wall.
Room temperature was ok. Seemed humid though despite having air conditioner on. I think the sheets and bedspread could do with an update but otherwise ok.
The breakfast did leave something to be desired. Fresh fruit or scrambled eggs with bacon or sausage would have been good too. I did appreciate the fresh orange juice. It was not watered down like most places.
The bar was a nice surprise as we have stayed here many times and it wasn't there before. After a long day, it was nice to come in and sit down and have a beer for $1.50. JP was a wonderful bartender.
Breakfast had day old donuts coffee and stale bagels. The beds were hard there’s wood missing off most furniture and the bedding was stained and had cigarette burns. The room itself was cleanish but it’s pretty dingy and the pool was completely cloudy.
