Very clean rooms. very very comfortable beds and pillows very sweet staff. Their breakfast is decent with a couple hot options however they have a lot of other options like oatmeal, yogurt, bagels, and things like that that will suffice. Housekeeping is outstanding. Highly highly highly recommend especially for the price.

Room was only cleaned the first day but not again for the 4 more night we stayed. Had to go to desk to ask for towels. Bed was broken and was told maintenance would fix it and the frame came out from underneath the bed the next time someone sat on it. Lamp and alarm clock did not work either. Toilet seat was busted.

For the price it was ok. Beds were clean. However we checked in with 4 adults 1 child in a suite with 3 beds, 2 had linens, there was only 2 towels. Luckily we had beach towels and extra blankets for the child. Front desk was very friendly and breakfast was on par with other hotels. 1 night we could be ok.

We rented four rooms for an extended family reunion. Between the four rooms, there were four different things wrong - AC not working, TV not working, missing door look hardware, broken chair. I was functional, but certainly not worth the price. Funny smells in different parts of the hotel too - especially the elevator.

This was by far the worst hotel stay I’ve ever had

This was by far the worst hotel stay I’ve ever had in my 35 years of life. First the indoor pool that they advertised was UNHEATED and as cool as outside in December. Our bathroom was filthy I didn’t even want to shower in it. Their WI-FI didn’t work the entire time even though they advertised and provided a code. No paper in business center. And kids ran up and down each and every hallway all night long my daughter and I couldn’t sleep before a very important cheer competition. Horrible

Perfect if you don’t want to get any rest

Oh, where to start? Maybe with the railroad that is practically in the parking lot and shakes the whole building every other hour when a train goes by. Or with the bar right against the backside of the building with live music till midnight. Or maybe the hookers in the back parking lot As well as druggies and homeless wandering around and even some sleeping on The chairs in the lobby. Besides all of that, They also won’t do housekeeping unless you request it. The AC in the rooms Barely work as well And not to mention the water in the showers doesn’t cool down and is burning hot to the touch when it is turned all the way down. All they did was a cheap remodel, trying to make it look modern and give it a facelift when in reality it’s outdated and old. The remodel work is horribly done. So yes, needless to say we’ll never be staying here again. The only positive note was the front desk, lady that was there in the mornings till afternoon she was very sweet and tried to be helpful.

There was a fight in one of the rooms at 5 am and people were shouting for over an hour. I could barely get any sleep that night Room conditions were terrible and smelled really bad
