Beds were decent and the room was pretty clean. There was an unpleasant odor for both days we spent there. Musty? Moldy? The breakfast offerings were minimal: dry cereal, waffles, toast. I hoped for fresh fruit and yogurt and was disappointed.

Eh, it was definetly an older hotel. Very dated but I must say it was clean for it being so vintage. The staff was 5 Star all the way. As soon as you mention any need they immediately get right to it. The staff was probably the best part of the stay. That type of hospitality isn’t too common these days.

I thought the staff was very helpful and attentive so there was no issue there BUT the facilities look very poorly kept and they desperately need a large overhaul and renovation. There were dirty walls, leaking ceiling in the shower and it was just overall bad. Also they pool is down this half renovated sketchy hallway to the pool which is this dingy musty pool area in an enclosed gymnasium with poor air flow. Staff were great but facilities was very bad so I would not recommend you take the chance on this place, spend the money to go to another nicer hotel like the Holiday Inn in the adjacent parking lot.
