The hotel and staff were great. Convenient location for dining (excellent Mexican restaurant next door), gas, groceries, other restaurants nearby. Parking was easy and right next to the entrance. But the pool was going through some maintenance while we were there, and it was ice cold the one night we used it, then the next day the deck got repainted, and it left an overpoweringly strong chemical fumes smell that persisted and made the pool unusable the next night.

Crystal

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
We stay at this property fairly often to visit family, and it’s sorely in need of TLC. Hallways are dark, common area carpets show signs of heavy soiling, grout shows mildew and age. We had to ask for housekeeping services after the fourth day because our room had never been serviced - trash was overflowing and we were out of towels. Every employee we interacted with was very friendly, it just seems that they may be understaffed.

This was a very quiet property. Our room overlooked the pool area and had a strong bleach smell all the time. The breakfast was good. Several items to pick from. The facility could use a makeover but was overall mice.
