Stayed here multiple times over the last 2 years. Things are getting bad at this property. Decent price for a decent room was my go to for a quick getaway. But the rooms have slacked in cleanliness. This last stay the door would not latch on it's own. It was in the middle of the night when i realized it. Just had to rig things til the morning. Bedding seem to be just thrown together. Dirt and dust on the headboard. At least linen was clean this time. That's the 1 good thing i can say. Might not come back anymore

Excellent service/. Clean

From the moment we arrived, the staff provided excellent and welcoming service. They were incredibly understanding of our situation and went above and beyond by allowing us to check in early, which made a huge difference for us—especially after having a bad experience at another hotel. The room and overall property were spotless and well-maintained. You can tell cleanliness is a top priority here, and it truly gave us peace of mind. The customer service was top-notch, and the staff made us feel valued and cared for throughout our stay. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, cleanliness, and genuinely kind service. We will definitely be back!

Let me start off by saying this entire hotel is in rough shape!!! Front doors where broken, they had to stay open all the time. Door to room had to be slammed for it to even latch. Tub drain stopper wouldnt stop a mack truck much less any water, so no bath for the kids. Several exit doors were out of order, so we had to walk all the way to main entrance everytime we left and came back. Pool was out of order and was never told at check in. Just an all around bad experience!!!!!
