For an older building, we had a great experience. The price was right, breakfast food was what you'd expect : eggs, sausage, yogurt, cereals, fruit, bagels and the extras. The guy refilling did an exceptional job at keeping all options available! The location is great and the bed super comfortable. Water pressure in the shower fantastic.

Location was perfect for the things we wanted to see. The pricing was fine for what the hotel had to offer. You get what you pay for. The facility is in poor condition as far as dirty windows and awnings on the outside in hallways. lamp was broken in our room, and bathroom tub took forever to drain. The pool recliners need replacing. The staff was very accommodating for what we needed and to answer questions we had about the area.

We had to change rooms 3 separate times before canceling our stay after one night. The staff was very helpful and accommodating when making the room changes. However, the cleanliness of the hotel was very poor. Our first room had newer blood stains on the bedding, the second and third room we were provided was covered in mold.

Honestly the stay wasnt too bad. Its a great location but its run down. The fridge was dirty, we had to get 5 new room keys because they wouldn't work. The cabinet handles were broken. The elevator feels like its about to break down at any moment. The breakfast was good tho! Always a nice perk. Over all this place is set to be demolished in October/2026 soooo I get why its run down and not being taken care of.
