1. cafeteria was small and not so organized/clean, needed a tending to by employee, most hotels have someone there in the room full time, cleaning, organizing, stocking etc., this one did not. 2. room seemed tired, the bathroom had marks on the wall from someone's wheel chair tires in the drywall. Fixtures looked new and the tile, but not sure if the work is "in process" or underfunded. 3. many guests smoke right outside the rooms, so you had to walk through the smoke. 4. our A/C was missing the grill inside. 5. walls in the room had dirt above the bedframe, weird, and an odd odor when you walk in. Disappointed for sure, pictures look better than the actual hotel.

Pool wasn't working. Breakfast was cold cereal, bagels w/ no cream cheese or toast. You have to ASK for orange juice. I asked for towels never got them. Never came to clean our room. Keurig didn't work. Floors were FILTHY. Pic below.

Reasonable Stay

The staff was excellent. We checked in super late and they were very accommodating. We were disappointed that the pool was closed. The room was reasonably comfortable, but the dog in the room next door barking at the kid knocking at 2am was annoying (not in their control though).

I felt the room we stayed in was just okay. The bed was comfortable and the bedding was clean and fresh. The water was hot and the pressure was good. The towels were white and fairly new. However, the rug was very dirty, the toilet was loose, and the walls were scratched up and in need of paint. The balcony area and stairs were not kept up well. Lots of cigarette butts. The dining area was not satisfactory. The area was not air conditioned, the food was limited (the staff said they were in short supply), the windows and the glass on the doors were filthy. The young man working was on his phone and did not seem to see that a little effort on his part could have greatly improved the situation. We did not swim, but the pool looked fine. The kids swimming seemed to be enjoying it. This place could have been much better than it was. It is too bad.

For a nonsmoking property, there were a lot of smokers outside the guest rooms, making everything in the motel smell like cigarettes. There were a bunch of kids just hanging out on the sidewalk and outside guest rooms day and night. Pool was closed for maintenance.
