    My room had a smell and a lot of stains on the floor and furniture. The pool was ice cold but very clean. The breakfast was good and the staff was very nice. Stay away from room 121!

    Not unique,older hotel.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Location Bathroom is outdated... bathtub was not clean. Grout needs to be replaced. Kleenex cover and faucet has rust on them. Bed sheets had a rip in them

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    It was hard to get the water to the right temperature for a shower it was either to hot or to cold breakfast consisted of cereal and fruit

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Checked in late the gentlemen at the desk was vert nice, first night went okay on the second night i got up around 5 am and found a dead mouse in the bed with me. I would not stay there again.

    The pool was warm and clean, probably the warmest hotel experience I have had. The room was clean on appearance, but there was a bit of crumbs and debris on the floor behind the bed. The bed was okay, sheets were clean and bedding appeared clean except for the cigarette burn on the bedspread. On the upside, no bedbugs or other bugs were noticed. I checked, which is why I found the space between the head of the bed (below the headboard) and the bed needed cleaned. The bathroom was cleaned nicely. The entire hotel seems dated, but it looks like they are making updates and improvements. Staff was kind and easy to work with. Easy check-in. The only thing I didn’t like was they wanted a $100 deposit on a room that was already fully paid for at booking. I would probably stay again, but I don’t know that I would pay a higher rate than what I did to stay there.

    Very friendly staff

  • Engine customer Nov 2025

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    No room service at all for 6 days

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    After 11pm, dogs barking, people fighting and yelling. Felt like I was back to living in a substandard apartment. The men also rooming there were highly inappropriate, i did not sleep out of fear. While I understand anyone can pay for a room, i was scared from 11pm until they quieted around 4am, the people above me were awful. Also? The 2% Milk in the fridge was bad - another issues on top of no sleep I did not need before a 10 hour festival shift and 3hr drive home.

    Granted, it was not an expensive room. But, based on the bogus reviews I read, I thought it was a good deal. The building was basic and very outdated which, for the price, was fine. The one unforgivable thing was how nasty the rooms were. Spills on the furniture and lighting fixtures that were not wiped up. There were dark liquid spills on nearly every wall that easily could have been wiped up with a damp cloth. There was some dark liquid spattered The entire length of the door. I had to wear flip-flops in the room, because the dirty carpet felt gross on my feet. Absolutely no housekeeping effort.

    When we arrived, another guest was arguing with staff over conditions of their room. I had booked in advance and the hotel took the money out of my account before I arrived, not at arrival. Furthermore, we had one person less than when we booked, and they refused to adjust the price. Later, my sister found a bed bug crawling on her pillow. They offered no adjustment or refund, however they did allow us to switch rooms. My sister slept in a chair for fear of getting in bed. I don't blame her. We did receive our deposit in full the next morning but will never stay at this hotel again. Stay at your own risk. Or join the non stop party in room120 apparently.

    Staff was very friendly. I am 50yrs old. I felt like I went back to my childhood. The stuff is so outdated. The curtain are getting holes. Bedspread from my youth. Chair in lobby for my childhood. This is in desperate need of redo. The beds smell of mildew so bad if you lay down you have shower or change your clothes to get the smell off you. Beds were hard not firm. Hard cracking when you moved not the frame the mattress. The room number on phone wasn't the room number I was in so if it was an emergency someone would have been directed to wrong room. And I have seizures.

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    They have bed bugs and its very dirty!

  • Engine customer Jun 2025

    If I could give zero stars I would. The hotel and grounds are not worth the money. I rather sleep in my car. Rooms are in need of a full renovation…carpet was terrible, nasty; bathroom smelled like urine, outlet didn’t work, bed sheets and bed were horrible, walls are filthy. Staff was great but I won’t be back. Ever.

    Staff was great

  • Engine customer May 2025

    Room booked for king suite, which I got, however when my children arrived they gave them a room with 1 bed, there were 4 people, since i had a suite, i offered to trade my kids rooms, they told us NO. We traded anyway. From that moment on, the staff on duty were very rude, resulting in them the next morning shutting my door key off. Manager, Peter. VERY rude on checkput. Would not drop my rate feom king suite tp the single queen room, stating myself and my family were lying abput what we booked through expedia and we even showed our expedia confirmation e-mails and receipts. We were just money to this hotel, My family and I will NEVER return

  • Engine customer May 2025
