This hotel was dirty. You walk in and all you smell is air freshener and an old smell in the first floor hallway. There was no one available to assist us we had to wait for the attendant to come in from outside. She watched us walk in. There was a big bug in our room. The floor was extremely dirty. My socks were so black after walking on it. Full parking we almost didn’t get a parking spot both nights that we stayed. The food options are limited and the dining area is very small. The bed was loud but it was okay. When we tried to check out I had to wait 15 minutes because there was no attendant. Bad experience. I will not be coming back.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at this hotel was unacceptable. The staff were not only rude and unprofessional, but clearly lacked basic training in hospitality and respect for guests. Most concerning was their complete disregard for ADA laws. When I brought up my child’s accessibility needs (service animal), I was met with confusion, dismissiveness, and even attitude—as if I were being difficult for expecting compliance with federal law. Staff questioned the legitimacy of my service animal, demanded unnecessary documentation, and made me feel unwelcome—all of which are clear violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Under federal law, individuals with disabilities are allowed to be accompanied by their service animals in all areas where the public is normally allowed to go. Staff are only permitted to ask two specific questions: (1) Is the animal required because of a disability? and (2) What work or task has the animal been trained to perform? Anything beyond this is not only inappropriate but unlawful. It’s unacceptable in 2025 for a hotel to be this unprepared and uninformed about disability rights. I would strongly advise against staying here if you value professionalism, respect, or accessibility.

Overpriced

Tired and worn hotel. Direct TV did not work and was not addressed during 3 night stay. Had a suite- but it’s just an L shaped room with an uncomfortable love seat and desk. Cramped room. Internet very poor. Threadbare towels- and had to ask for more as did not have housekeeping services on weekend. Toilet leaked. Staff appeared annoyed with any request.

Decent place to stay if you just need a room. Staff was friendly, we were able to check in early and used the pool for an hour. The breakfast could have some protein like sausage or bacon. All bread and gravy.
