Well, the first room we were offered- was occupied…as we found out once we entered… The second room, was clean- ish, but neither the tv nor the refrigerator worked… and the king bed had no pillows- and when I inquired- was told there were none to be had…loud neighbors, noisy ac unit- which are par for the course, lessons learned… do the research, I was suckered in by a good pic and great price, but remember- you get what you pay for…. Did I mention the big section of the gutter flying off the roof when we stepped out, narrowly missing me? Que sara.

Got there too check in about 11pm and was told they are out of double bed rooms. Wanted to give us a roll away. Declined. Wanted us to split hotels... 1 person at this hotel and 1- 3 miles away. Declined. Finally have us 2 separate rooms ... on 2 different floors. Both of us have bad backs and no elevators. Never again!

Property was good enough for a one night stay. Area was sortof sketchy. Also, no large sign out front stating the name of property. Maybe they are putting up a new one soon? I was close to front desk (room 102) so took awhile to get to sleep as I could hear all the chaos out front and doors slamming. Room was clean though.

Not great for a couples weekend

From the outside we were unsure, but the loby was pretty nice so were kinda reasured. However, once we got in the room the pillowcases were dirty though the cleaning ladies had just finished cleaning supposedly. We exchanged the pillowcases but then I decided to check the rest of the bed and discovered cigarette burns on the mattress and the duvet. The jetted tub was nice though loud when turned on. There was also a cigarette burn on the tub which was irritating. Why some guests disrespect a room like that I dont get. Breakfast potatos, eggs, and cereal, but the breakfast room was pretty small with only one table. Our key stopped working before check out so my significant other stayed in the room while I took stuff to the car and he let me back in. Overall better for a quick place to crash not for a romantic weekend.

The room was clean. The pillows weren't very comfortable. The outside was very basic, no visible signage. The pool was drained and pool area looked like they were using it for storage. Very noisy, between cars and trains. The walls are thin, you could hear everything going on outside the room.
