Rooms were clean. Bathroom in severe need of repair. Poor water pressure very slow drains heater sounded as if it was gonna fly off the wall. Hot tub out of service was told it’s nothing but a money pit pool was closed continental breakfast was horrific! Was able to sleep and use toilet that about the extent of it! The attached bar was good. The two bartenders were nice people and treated us well. I would not recommend this hotel unless it’s the last resort.

You can definitely tell they’re working on the hotel. The wall was paint had been rubbed off from the chair it looked like and the tub had a hole on the outside surround. The hotel was clean, didn’t have any odd smells, staff was super friendly, my in-laws had an adjoining room which looked very nice and must have had some updates done. I saw a couple previous reviews about the desk lamp not working—turn on or off the lamp and then click the light switch on the wall. Haha

Disliked: Cleanliness
Our room was in need of a big remodel. The door jam to the outside was rusted away. The door jam to the hallway had rust & peeling paint all the way around it. That door had a swath of white paint from a roller over blue. The toilet was old, very low to the ground & the seat was peeling. Laminate floors but they were filthy. Bed was ok. Breakfast was the best part of the stay. Eggs, sausage, breads, bagels, rolls, muffins, yogurt, cereal, juice, milk, coffee. It definitely was not worth $100. If I hadn’t been familiar with the city we were in, I would’ve asked for a refund & gone somewhere else.
