"The property could use upgrades. The bathrooms are in need of new grout, maybe new shower/tub, ceiling, & there were no amenities, like cups. The floors are vinyl/hardwood look alike. I felt like I should wear shoes or socks all the time. No carpet. Not even low pile kind. My son left a couple of items behind by mistake. They said I had to come back & get them. What? No offer for shipping! What the heck! What are travelers supposed to do? I would pay for shipping. The staff did not offer anything extra during our visit, nor were they very helpful when we needed them to help with our TV. You hardly ever saw any of the staff. All in all the hotel is okay, but not at the price point they charge."
