The room we had appeared to be in rather poor shape. Was the cheapest room we selected for an overnight travel stay, but did not know till we checked in that is was a smoking room. We checked in fairly late at night, and was supposedly a last room so accepted it. The room smelled heavy of smoking but initially appeared pretty clean and tidy. The shower wall was cracked. The tissue box only had (x1) kleenex tissue left in it. The bed was super comfortable. Found out in the morning that the textured ceiling had A LOT of blackness to it very much like black mold. Maybe that was from smoking or vaping, but the white walls were very clean. The bed sheets had multiple cigarette burns and maybe a wax stain. The rest of the facility, grounds and staff was great. Maybe we got the worst room at this hotel location. I feel that room should not have been rented out and we should have moved on to another hotel.

We were skeptical at first, being this is not a huge brand name hotel we are used to, but much cleaner than some of them for sure! I will tell you that the people in the area dont smile when you smile, but we were greeted by a gemtleman with a genuine smile who was kind, funny, and efficiently got us booked in. I was impressed how clean the lobby and room acrually were. The beds and pillows were super confmy, the room smelled clean, the water is nice and hot and the fridge kept my drinks very cold. The outdoor pool was well kept and relaxing. All of this for such a reasonable rate We will def come back to stay next time we are in town.

Pool closed early.

The only reason we will not returning is the pool closed at 8 pm. We have stayed at this hotel many times and never had an issue with pool closing early. So we decided next time we will stay at Hampton inn across the street. We love the Mexican restaurant next to hotel, so now we will just walk across the street and stay at a different hotel.

Easy get away

Great affordable stay for a mini family vacation. Staff very friendly, helpful to make our stay work for us. Adjoining rooms on quieter side of complex. Rooms clean, tv, microwave, frig in each room. Bathrooms are dated and need some bleach to caulking on shower walls. But for the price well worth the stay. Continental breakfast. Nice clean outdoor pool. Convenient location to restaurants and area attractions.

Great Stay, Just Lousy Internet Access

The room was great, only problems I had were very slow internet access, times it would drop completely for 20 to 40 minutes at a time.

Toliet would flush when it wanted- had the guy at front desk come. He finally got to flush and then the next day was not flushing again. I was told that he would call his manager and never heard back. Bathroom light also had problems turning on- had to keep pushing the switch until it would finally go on. Remote also barely worked and when i pushed the buttons on the side of the tv it would only change input.

Staff was quiet but friendly . Room was clean and smelled good and perfect by the wonderful pool. The pool was a highlight for sure . Only small complaint was little mold in bathroom behind the door and the bathroom door did not shut , the door was bigger than the frame so you just had to hold it shut while using the facilities . Was hopeful for waffles for the kids but it was just cereal and bagels. But it did the job
