Don't Stay Here Unless It Is Your Only Option
Pros:

Staff and location were good.

Cons:

Everything smelled if something. The hallway ramp from the lobby to the room smelled of urine. The pool area smelled like old musty chlorine. Our room smelled like mold, urine, chlorine and something. We went to Kroger to by air fresheners for the room.showers are GROSS with peeling paint, mildew (I hope not worse), nasty stuff in the drain, the faucet works backwards. The sink needs a new faucet and an overall SCRUBBING. THE a/C is old and noisy. Doors don't fully close except the exterior room entry door and even then you have to pull it. Old outlets. Old furniture. Thread bare sheets. Old bed that is pilling from too much use.

Just BAD.

Booking pictures of rooms don't match actual rooms. We had three groups in three rooms, including a suite, and nobody was happy.

Pool area isn't great and has limited hours.

Pros:

Indoor pool

Cons:

Our first room there was so much moisture that it came up in the cracks in the floor. There was Noone watching over the breakfast area so they ran out of plates and milk. And my friend found bed bugs in their room. We will never stay here again. The restaurant and indoor pool were the only good parts.

Decent. At best.
Pros:

The pool and hot tub we’re enjoyable, there wasn’t many people using it but it was at a good temperaturex

Cons:

The staff here came off as passive aggressive and not as friendly as I expected. They requested a 100 dollar refundable deposit in case of room damages but never notified anyone if it’s been processed or if they distributed a refund. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. I feel scammed. Lastly the rooms were not very clean, the water was probably the worst part with there being black stuff flowing out of it. The sheets and blankets were also dirty.

I had to leave the hotel because the room was not clean enough to stay.
Pros:

The location was convenient, and the check-in process was quick

Cons:

The room smelled musty and unclean. The bed sheets appeared dirty, and the mirrors were not properly cleaned. I did not feel comfortable or safe staying in those conditions, so I checked in around 5:00 PM and left around 9:00 PM without spending the night. I took photos of the dirty sheets and mirrors as evidence. This was not the level of cleanliness I expected.

Not for me
Pros:

The front desk man was ok.

Cons:

The room was absolutely filthy. Did not look like it had been cleaned in awhile. There was trash on the microwave. The microwave was molded. The inside of the fridge was dirty. There was no shower curtain. There were hairs in the blankets. Every chair/stool (there were multiple) in the room had some kind of stain.

great staff - hotel needs updated
Pros:

We spent the night in the ICU with my son so we got to the hotel after the pool closed so the owner opened it early the next morning so my 8 year old bday boy could swim for a bit before we returned to his brothers hospital room. The staff was so nice.

Cons:

bed was not comfy in our room. it had a broken spring so needs replaced. Breakfast was not appealing at all so we door dashed mcdonalds but it was close to St Vincent and in a nice location.

To many kids in the pool after 10:30 and very loud. Both microwave went out. The last night it went out and didn't get another one. We left on a Sunday and have to wait to check out.
