I booked a room with two beds, but when we checked in, we were initially sent to a room on the 5th floor that only had one bed. We went back to the lobby and informed the front desk. The staff apologized and gave us a new room on the 3rd floor, but unfortunately, it also had only one bed. We returned to the lobby again—still carrying all of our belongings—and let them know. After checking the system again, they finally assigned us a room on the 2nd floor with two beds. By the time we got settled, it was 7:52 PM. We went to the restaurant, which was advertised as open until 9:00 PM, but we were told the kitchen was already closed and they would be closing in 7 minutes.

The rooms had a strong odor, like old, dirty furniture, and the decor felt very outdated — even the TV looked like it was from 2008. That said, the staff were truly kind and helpful, which made a big difference. The breakfast was also a positive aspect of the stay.

Me and a friend stayed 2 nights the first thing we liked was the hotel is close to highway and front desk was helpful and nice! The downside about the stay is the elevator was scary when it gets ready to go up it has a hard lift off we had to hold on to the real to brace ourselves and the room door wasn’t closed all the way we had to push once we entered the room and pull when exiting the room to make sure door was closed , and also the bathroom door was hard to close and hard to open the toilet and shower had rust or something dark brown in it and yes I have pictures of the bathroom. But the bed and pillows were very comfy.

I did not like that we were on the 5th floor with a family that was staying for a family reunion. We were not a part of that group, but I think that they thought we were. There were a lot of fuss in the hallway, and also, we did not have access to clean towels. We were advised that the house keeping person that service our rooms did not work on weekends. So, we found someone else housekeeper and that how we got clean towels. Also, that group was at the pool was LOUD! Playing music and talking and singing until 10:00 that Saturday night. When we got there to check in, they told us we needed to pay a $50 service fee that will be refundable. As of today, that has not been done. Please advise me when and how long this will take.

This property looked NOTHING like the pictures on Expedia. The rooms were not clean the carpet and furniture was disgusting as was the shower/tub. Our duvet had black stuff all over it (not stains but hadn't been cleaned since who knows when). The toilet was clogged the entire time so we had to go to the lobby to use the bathroom. Also, they're apparently under construction which we knew nothing about until being violently awoken at 7 am when the hammering and screwing started which continued for both days of our stay. Checkout wasn't until noon which would've been great under any other circumstances but we honestly couldn’t wait to get out of there. This hotel needs a major deep cleaning and upgrade. We won’t ever be staying there again! Definitely not even close to Hilton standards.
