The room was fine, tidy and had a microwave and mini frig. The alcove where the ice and vending machine is was so dirty, really unwelcoming. Pool and spa area was dated, room was dated, the whole place could use so TLC. It rained pretty heavily overnight and the second floor walkway that leads to the breakfast room holds water so we had to walk through all the ponding water on the tile which felt unsafe (they did have signs). Staff could have easily swept the puddles to the drain but didn’t. The breakfast was all CARBS, they could benefit from adding hard boiled eggs for at least one protein. They did offer juices, coffee, cereals, oatmeal and pastries. Overall it seemed that the staff weren’t accountable to keep the property safe and clean. The registration staff charged a 50.00 deposit, which I haven’t seen happen for many years. Maybe they’ve had trouble with their guests making the deposit necessary. On the positive, there are quite a few restaurants within walking distance and the parking lot was well illuminated.
