This was the worst hotel I have stayed at in a long time. Right from the start, parking is abysmal. You have to pay to park and the parking lot is horribly located and barely lit. When I finally made my inside I was greeted by a nice enough man at the front desk. He gave me my key without saying my room number, noticing the men behind me - which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, the key didnt work and he had to reassign my room. My walk to the elevator was... long and damp. When I finally arrived at a room I was able to enter, I almost wished I hadn't. Rooms can be outdated without being gross and unreasonable. This was not one of those rooms. The carpet as sticky as the floor of a dive bar, the carpets rolling up in the middle, stains that led me to believe that the carpets hadn't been cleaned since 2010. I was shocked to find the bed was clean (thank God) so, exhausted I just decided to call it a night in this nightmare. Sitting on the bed (still convinced this was the cleanest place) I decided to watch TV. This is when I learned that TV antennas still exist. The TV was fuzzy, but with no bunny ears in sight I had no idea how to fix it Unfortunately, I had to get up a few hours later and didn't put shoes on... I stepped in something sticky. I may have asked to move but based on the hallway status no other room would better. Morning revealed more: broken blinds, a smoke detector removed and bagged, coffee creamer literally called "whitener". Stay away.

The staff was amazing. Everyone I encountered. I only stopped over 1 night on my way through. Bed was super comfy, checkout is 12 and boy did we need it. The curtains where so dark we slept in until 10:30. They let us have a late check out for 1:00. We will definitely be back! Would have loved to eaten our breakfast in the indoor terrace and swam in the pool.

Property condition overall was very disappointing, looks like it hasn’t been updated since the 1970’s. The carpet was covered in stains, rippled and bunched up in areas so that you have to step over it. The wall paper was yellowed, stained, and damaged or missing in areas. Our first room smelled like smoke, our second room smelled fine but the hot water took several minutes to kick in in the shower and the sink cold water handle got stuck every time we used it. Despite that, the staff was friendly, the outdoor landscaping was nice, and we had everything we needed, but probably won’t stay here again or recommend it.

I would not recommend this hotel for a vacation stay. It seems that it is use by the locals a lot more and the areas around it are a bit sketchy for tourists. Front desk associate was rude and quick to jump the hun to argue before explaining the situation. Also I had to call them twice to be able to get toilet treats send up to the room. Rooms are outdated even though they seem clean. Two of the light fixtures in the room didn’t work.
