Staff was nice and accommodating. General Manager unprofessional and unavailable to address customer complaints. Continental Breakfast 👎. No fresh fruit, no teas, no oatmeal/grits.

The breakfast was terrible… the cream cheese (sealed individual package) had a layer of mold… the other was cracked and dried out…. If a sealed package is so old or not properly handled that allowed mold to grow…. I question any food products at this property… The bath tub was filthy… looked like the tub has not been cleaned for quite some time… makes me question the overall cleanliness of this property…how clean are the linens, towels and flooring and fixtures… They had only one staff member working the lobby and bar areas on a Friday… the staff member did a great job… I feel a hotel should excel in customer service and impart of customer service should encompass the cleanliness of the facility, adequate staff and proper food service that does not jeopardize their customer health.,,

Really dirty rooms. Said newly remodeled. They put in new beds and painted over the rust/mold. Bathroom door was falling off of the hinges, hooks dangling from the wall, nasty carpet, etc. Rooms smelled strongly like pinesol. Tons of trash in the parking lot. People partying in the parking lot late.

the breakfast was awful. we were there around 730am and there was enough waffle mix for one waffle. cereal was all over the counter, bagels were all hard as a rock. all of the granola "mix in" was empty or petrified fruit. the swimming pool area was nice and clean, but the water was ice cold. room was clean, but the door didn't shut without being pulled or pushed shut. Exterior door out the end of hallway was the same way. I have stayed at this hotel before and really enjoyed it, but i won't ever stay here again.

You get what you pay for

Check in was slow. Musty smell in the room, cleared up a bit after turning the A/C on. Breakfast was a joke, no batter for waffles, no milk for cereal, no hot water for the oatmeal.
