The most recent Google reviews made me skeptical about booking but the king room overlooking the pool was clean aside from a couple cigarette burns in the comforter no weird smells and the bathrooms where nice aside from the tub almost feeling greased when showering a grab bar or traction pads would be a nice addition

The shower handle was missing for the shower, the staircase going up to our room was rusty and u can see through the steps, the rugs were filthy. The pool was closed. We were in town for a going away party I would not have stayed more than one night!

Keep looking keep driving

there were gaps around the door weather stripping was worn so heater ran constantly, the bathroom door had no handle and i cut hand on piece of metal, none of the outlets worked only a power strip not sure that's up to code, and the room phone didn't work so couldn't call the front desk to locate the ice maker that ended up being broken and the front desk didn't have any ice to offer. The breakfast area was a mess at 6pm so i had no desire to check out breakfast, although should have when the in-room coffee maker didn't work. Thats after a night of people walking around and yelling at 3 am and again banging on doors at 7am. No staff around and remember couldn't call. i wasn't about to go out there as it seemed like some of the rooms have people living there and treating it like a low rent apartment building.

The front desk person was rude. The bathroom had poop all over it. There were people under the influence in the parking lot. The police patrolling the parking lot while trying to check-in. This hotel is not family friendly. Pool was "closed for maintenance". Never even checked-in took my family to a different hotel. Did not feel safe

I chose this facility to spend Valentines Day Eve with my love because of the down town location and the indoor pool. We came to learn that the pool has been out of service for weeks, and Expedia still advertises a place with a pool to use. The front desk attendant told us the pool “might” be ready around 5pm. Not so much.I was told this reservation is non refundable and so we never got to swim. The whole place stinks like chlorine and the pool is still full of nasty water with a sign that says “no swimming.” The breakfast area is dirty at best and the food looks old and picked at. The room had a dirty toilet and remnants of expectorated toothpaste splattered about the sink and bathroom counter proving the room had not been cleaned prior to our stay. Pretty gross place.

Internet didn’t work and it was very uncomfortable and after I gave the front desk, my card and my phone number I got a call somebody pretending to be the electric company trying to get money out of me and it was the same voice as the guy at the front desk

Worst Hotel I've Ever Stayed At

Do not stay here! The new owners are not spending money on improvements. We went through 3 different rooms and all were very dirty. We saw heavily stained rugs, dust and dirt on vanities and hairs on floors and walls. I have no problem when a hotel houses local underprivileged persons but they shouldn't be beside full paying vistor guests. When you see pumpkins and plants in windows of hotel rooms, you know the rooms are rented by the month. I have stayed at this hotel for many years as I am a salesman and haven't seen anything as dirty ever. The location is convenient but not worth staying at any price. The 3rd room we were showed had no smoke detectors!
This picture shows the suite shown on the website except the rugs are so dirty now.
poor install of toilets and a dirty floor,
No smoke detector in the room. Really?

It was my worst experience staying anywhere anytime doors were opening and closing all hours of the night I left at midnight to find a different place to stay sketchy looking people hanging around everywhere ...awful!!!! The front clerk asked why I was leaving I told him didn't seem to bother him at all he said... so you're checking out??? Somebody was playing loud music from 5:00 p.m. till after 10:00 p.m. do not stay there very bad
