Disliked: Property conditions & facilities

Although the rooms were decent, the property was old, not kept up well, and yucky. Vending machines were broken for 2 weeks while we stayed there twice. Elevator was scary. The lobby is not welcoming and almost like it’s a part of the garage. The pool was mid. The breakfast was fine. But not terrible if you have a small budget. It worked for what we needed.

The property needs some upkeep. The faucet in the bathroom had build-up, the bathroom door did not close without forcing it shut and there were cracked tiles. The pool area was nice, the free parking was a plus and the location was excellent.

Not what it once was

This place is not what it once was sadly. Disappointing stay here from start to finish. Noisy, food delivery trucks, eyesore of restaurant that was once lovely outside balcony. When I asked to move rooms I was told none were available even though the hotel was 1/4 full. Do not go by the pictures here. This is a 2 star at best now sadly.

Staff is non existent and when you find someone they’re not friendly. Hotel feels grimy and dirty. Bathrooms need updating and floors feel dirty. Would not recommend for families.
