Pros:

Staff was so nice.

Cons:

Although its getting a face-lift things were still a little dingy.
I don't think they changed the sheets on 1 of the beds from the guests before.

Pros:

We don’t travel often but wanted to basically go to the aquarium and swim in a pool a bunch and we did get to do those things!

Cons:

More towels available at the pool would have been nice. There was trash (beer bottle and joint wrapper) left on our balcony and we have kids so that was fun so definitely could’ve been cleaned better.

Thankfully we only used the room to sleep in and werent depending on it to be more than that.
Pros:

There wasn't much to like about the hotel itself. It was a good location for what we wanted to do in the town. Other than that, it wasnt good.

Cons:

What did we like is a shorter question. Bed was hard. We had queen sheets on a king bed. Balcony door was broken and didnt shut properly. Ice machine on the floor was out of service. Our bathroom was decent, but we found hair from previous stay.

My day was fine. Was one night we slept well.
Pros:

20 minutes from the casino.

Cons:

Initially had booked two nights due to dance competition at the casino. Cancel one night after receiving the schedule. Price of the Hotel was 30 less than what my initial cost was for the two nights.

Make sure to review your room n take pictures so you don't get stuck with a charge you didn't do
Pros:

They were accommodating in that they let me check out an hr later at no cost.

Cons:

They were accommodating yet they didn't have elevators to the second floor and there was a burn mark on the ac and damage to the wall in our room which I took pictures of so I wasn't reliable. The 100 deposit for that type of room was too much because I have stayed at the Hilton and had only a 40 deposit so considering the place and what it offers the deposit was ridiculous. They seemed frustrated during check in.

Bearable for what we needed.
Pros:

The discount at the diner next door

Cons:

Things were a bit run down. There wasn’t staff on site at all times. We had to call if we needed someone. The pool area was dirty. The room was on the back side of the building and we didn’t realize how loud it would be next to the highway and the diner all night.

Horrible smell in the room
Pros:

I reckon you should not come here.
The room has a horrible smell of smoke and some strong chemicals. I went to the reception, but they did not help me saying that this is non-smoking hotel and they don’t know who smokes.
The carpet is dirty and filthy.
I went to the reception again, asking for extra blankets, and they gave me only one saying that this is the last one.
The mattresses have sinking holes in them. There is no hair dryer. When I asked the receptionist about that, she said that if I need one, then, the maintenance can probably bring one to me. I also found hair of previous tenants in the jacuzzi.
No coffee in the room or in the lobby.
