Steer clear
Pros:

Steer clear of this property/hotel. The breakfast is minimal, coffee looks and tastes like brown water. All for $16?? We could not use the pool as it was full of brown/ green algae. I asked from check in till night before check out to have my room cleaned and it stay dirty. The lobby was clean, but the desk staff was not helpful. They only redeeming quality about this. Holiday Inn was Ericka that worked in the morning in the breakfast area

Pros:

The check-in process though busy was handledcefficiently by Robert.
The property was conveniently located near the airport.

Cons:

The facility beyond the lobby was not clean nor well maintained. When we got to our room it was filthy...stained bedding and dead bugs on carpet. We couldn't stay, reported conditions to Robert who was understanding and promised a full refund. You do not want to see the photos.
We had to find a different place to stay, found the Hilton Garden Inn 6 miles away.

Guest beware 💩
Pros:

Just as dated or worse than a 1 or 2 tier hotel. Hallways smell of weed and hotel staff smoke (cigarettes) right outside the entrance. Now to the room: for the kind of business this place gets you’d think they could afford to switch out a mattress here and there. Our room had two sunk in beds that you sat on and sunk so far in your feet were raised at least three to four inches more than your torso. They had an alarm clock next to the bed with no cable to plug it in to an outlet. You’d think someone would have noticed and thrown it out by now. The bathtub was scratched and opaquely dated with nothing to hold their dingy Dove bath products in the tub. It looks so beat up I question if I should take a shower. Filthy AC unit, rotting fridge holder. How much money do these places make that they won’t do basic repairs or updates?
