The pool was great for the kids except there were never towels at the pool where it was designated to be. The breakfast provided was great!! Loved how much space there was around the pool and dining area!!!! Front desk was very nice and helpful

The outside of the hotel is extremely run down and lacking in curb appeal. The inside isn’t any better. The room had a 1” gap under the dented beat up door allowing any and all noise to sound like it was right inside your room. You can hear every noise coming from the pool and the air hockey table. It did quiet down by 10pm each night, but I would never stay here again

I stayed in a king room in the “dome”/pool area. It’s was very hot and stuffy and was quite loud (ice machine right outside the door. The bathroom is tiny and has no fan. The chair in the room was stained, as were most in the common areas. The back door didn’t work with the key card. Breakfast was ok. Sheets were clean. Staff was kind and helpful.

It was creepy looking. Down a weird rundown hallway.

It was quiet & dark as I picked the updated king room specifically noted for being quiet. The bed was comfortable, but the room smelled constantly of sulfur/eggs/cigarette smoke. As someone who doesn’t smoke, I really noticed it. Like people smoking next door. I slept with a shirt over my face to mask the smell. Luckily I only needed the room to sleep.

After closing the curtain on the pointless window that looked into the dark hallway…I noticed it was covered in blood stains. There was a huge gap under the main door which also is not only unsafe but pretty sure a fire hazard. I see the attempt at some upgrades, bathroom tile etc…but they really should have paid for someone professional to do it as I’m sure a better job could have been done!

The positive first. The staff was great! Very responsive and helpful when asked for assistance. The breakfast was good and the beds were comfortable. Negative is the riff raff around the facility and the room size. Room was incredibly small. The worst was the fact there was a very impaired woman in the lobby. I was unsure of her impairment until she dropped a crack pipe in front of me in the lobby. Also, I know it was graduation weekend but not worth the $400 for one night I would not recommend this hotel until they get the unwelcome traffic under control.

The rooms were very smelly. Cabinets drawers were damaged and falling apart. Floors are very dirty. Had to move rooms the smell was so bad. Would have switched hotels but had a flight in the morning and it was very inconvenient to move to another hotel. Upset I had to pay for such bad accommodations.
