All in all, it was comfortable and clean.
Pros:

I like all the lively colors and contrasting. It reminded me of Arnold's bedroom from the the tv show called 'Hey, Arnold'.

Cons:

It would have been nice if the staff let us know what floor our room was on. She only gave us our cards and didn't go into further detail. We got off on the wrong floor and had to guess where to go after a long 3 hour drive.

Terrible, fell for the location, but won't go again!
Pros:

There were unfortunately a lot of issues during my stay; thankfully Caleb at the front-desk was very helpful and was able to resolve most of the issues, but given below is what I encountered. If you ask me, I would never stay at your hotel again - the only thing working in your favor according to me is a great location, but sadly nothing else!

I understand your hotel is old, but certainly expect any hotel toilets to be clean - I checked 3 rooms and all of the toilet bowls had big stains inside as if somebody had not flushed properly!

Your old ACs make a lot of sound - again have been in several old hotels, but never faced any issue there.

You leave kid-sized bath towels in the room which was very surprising!

There is no phone in the room which is ridiculous - if you had a problem or wanted something, you have to go all the way to front-desk

The office chairs have stains on them, really bad!

The warm water takes 2-3 minutes to come, which again though an older property does not mean that we should face such basic issues!

See above. Trash
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Everything. They also held my deposit for over a month and charged me twice for the room I had to call multiple times to get a refund. Management was unprofessional

Price decent for location but hotel needs some love.
Pros:

The location was great

Cons:

The toilet in our room ran all night long.
Our window shade was broken so the light from the outside glared inside.

Mixed Review…..Great Location
Pros:

Very clean, great staff, great covered parking. I would only stay here again if solo. For a couple it is a no. The sliding bathroom door was a HUGE NO for us. It made noise super hard to close and for people trying to sleep it was a no go. The hotel is a great location, we loved it except for a few things. The bathroom sliding door was horrible it bumped into the sink, was SUPER heavy, there was a glass window in the shower no reason for it and it made it bright for the person asleep. Also the soap/shampoo was mounted under the showerhead so you get soaked trying to use it. Again a great location, clean and if one person I would stay againbut not if two people having to use that i possible shower door.
