Very clean and reasonably priced, location is not bad either but pool was closed and not accessible, asked for late check out and was approved only one additional hour , I always get at least 2 additional hours elsewhere. Overall a pretty good hotel.

Stayed four nights, there is definitely a problem with housekeeping. They did not clean the room on the third day, so there were no towels and garbage was never taken. Fourth day they cleaned the room but did not give me any towels. I wont be staying there again.

We did not have breakfast. We did sit at the bar, which is poorly run. There's hardly any beer and liquor. The "bar tender" couldn't make a Cosmo, no cranberry juice. Overall, this hotel is in seriously need of a makeover. The carpets are worn, and the musty smell is horrible. The furniture is old, worm and very dirty. Sorry for the poor review, just being extremely honest.

The hotel was dark and a bit run down. The room was very dark and the carpet looked very old. Room and door could have used a paint job. A little smelly. Door does not shut automatically - must pull hard to close - very unsafe for a woman alone. Front desk staff friendly, however charged $11.72 for 2 small waters that I was expecting to pay $4. Order food to take back to my room from the bar. Bartender very unfriendly. Food did not appear appetizing. It tasted ok. Few options on the menu.

One-night stay

Nice large room with king bed. Everything was very clearn. Front desk very helpful with request for early check in. Breakfast options were several but food not great. Dinner food even worse. Would stay there again but go someplace else to eat.

Good place to stay

The breakfast was good with enough variety. The egg dish could have varied by day though. One day, there were even bowls with melon and pineapple. It was good to have a restaurant and bar in house, closed on Sunday though.
