The rooms were really bad. The shower/tub had stains, no wastebasket, only one floor lamp, all hangers gone, beds and pillows were terrible. Definitely bare minimum everything. Breakfast was very very minimal. Absolutely not worth the $200 we had to pay.

Do not stay.

Bed was a full size not a queen bed as described. Bathtub had dark hair around it and a dirty film inside the entire bottom. We couldn’t shower for the two days we stayed. Sheets were also dirty and stained . We were not offered an upgrade & we appeared to be the only guests that weekend as the parking lot was empty. Pool is closed.

No one at the counter no towels or soap. The lady had to come from another place to check me in. After realizing I had no towels I went to the front desk to ask for some. Gone, no one at the counter again. When I got up this morning to speak to someone, guess what? No on at the counter and breakfast area was dark, at 7AM. This place was a joke, and i will be canceling my credit card transaction.

You only get room service once a week, there was no light over the bathroom sink which was in the corner of the bedroom, no Kleenex, no employee on the premises at night.I had to go to the front desk to get more towels. No hangers, no iron or ironing board. The pool is closed because the new owners don't want to be bothered with it. Dont waste your time or money on this place.

Very rude front desk receptionist. We checked in an hour and a half late and the room still wasn't ready, clerk stated it wouldn’t be ready for another hour and a half which would put check in at around 6:30 pm. He then stated if you don’t like it he can cancel the room. Very rude response. Will not stay here again!
