The property was super clean and mostly comfy (the A/C didn’t work wonderfully, but it wasn’t enough for me to never come back). The only disappointment was breakfast. Very bare and low quality.

Really enjoyed our stay. We booked here because we have kids and because of the advertised indoor pool. It was a disappointment that the pool was not heated. But other than that, the property was clean and the staff was very nice. We would return here next time we visit family in the area.

I enjoyed my stay was there. There was only one thing that was wrong with the room was that the closet knobs were broken and I couldn't put my clothes that needed to be in hung up in there. I went to the receptionist to let her know cause I didn't want to be charged for it. But over all my stay was great.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
TV did not work. Had to go down to front desk to get a new remote & then move the heavy tv stand to unplug, and plug Tv back in. Noise all night that staff did not control. Cold shower. Coffee and no coffee cups. For $75 a night I did not expect a stay at the Taj Mahal, but we did expect to get to sleep & take a warm shower. Manager/owner was very rude and not accommodating. Definitely had some language barriers when I tried to explain our situation.
