Amenities are a NO GO

Guest Services made my check in fast and efficient. Breakfast was decent. However my purpose for choosing this hotel was the hot and pool. Hot tub had cold questionable water in it and not working. Pool temperature was beyond freezing, apparently the heater for the pool was not working either. Extremely disappointed.

Do not stay here. We left the property because it was so dirty. The carpet was filthy, drapes stained, the halls and room smelled. The manager refused to talk to us and would not refund.

Anthony

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
When I arrived the staff was friendly. But the facility had a bad odor, the room also had a bad odor. I had to get Lysol & febreeze to take out the odor. The curtains had holes in them. The toilet was leaking. The breakfast was not good at all. I did ask for another room but I was told the rooms were all booked. When I checked out the desk clerk was not friendly at all. I’m sorry to say that I will be staying in the area next year, but not in this hotel. I was very disappointed.

The front desk guy was very rude and made my stay very uncomfortable… I felt like I was walking on egg shells because he treated me like I was in jail. I will never book thru that hotel and he turned the lights off at the pool and made the pool cold when i went to swim.. his name was javonni

Over all very nice, cozy and clean. Good variety for breakfast. Really appreciate the early check in. The only (minor) complaint is that they were cleaning/disinfecting the pool during pool hours so we had to wait 1/2 hour till we could return to the pool. Ideally they would do that after the pool closed for the night.

Greetings. I *really* wanted to like this property but left disappointed. I will frankly share some of my concerns with all respect. I did not find check-in welcoming or professional. I chose the property for the pool and was informed at check in that the pool heater was broken… no apology from staffer, or any recognition of how this might impact my visit. Overall the building is clean but hall carpets deeply dirty and stained. Overall room clean but likewise carpets dirty, stained. Sheets clean but old and scratchy. Not enough blankets. Room smelled stale plus cheap cleaning product. I expected better.
