One of the worst hotel stays we have ever had. The hotel is old and everything about it says old. The room was sparse and dingy. I would not recommend it to anyone. Please read this review before you make your booking. Definitely not worth the money

The hot tub and indoor pool were nice, and we were not expecting the laundry facilities which helped a ton on our longer road trip. Would absolutely stay here again. The staff were friendly and helpful as well.

Dated, but still clean. It was in a convenient location to drive to places, but nothing really close to walk to. Biggest downside is the only elevator is at front so if you have issues with carrying luggage up stairs don’t get a room on 2nd floor because it’s a long walk to elevator if you’re in back. Also, this room was more expensive because it had courtyard view. Well, the courtyard view was of a covered swimming pool. Shouldn’t be charging extra for this.

Older facility but staff do excellent job of keeping it very clean. Only annoyance the swipe key cards that are so sensitive to anything they touch. How about old fashioned keys again? I would have appreciated the staff apologizing for the inconvenience instead of repeatedly blaming me for the issue. I am the customer, the paying client.
