Pros:

Bed was comfy and the pool was nice.

Cons:

I had to pay $33 for parking each night when I already had paid for the room. The room was cramped and the balcony was the view of the parking lot which was not pleasant.

Our stay at this hotel was terrible!!
Pros:

Good location. Some staff tried to be helpful.

Cons:

Our stay was terrible. The door lock was broken. The room keys never worked. We got new ones five times and ended up having to be let into our room, every time we needed to get in. Constant back and forth between our room on the 4th floor and the front desk! Same thing goes for the parking garage gate/arm. We had to call every time to be let in or out to park our vehicle. Our room smelled very strongly of cigarette smoke, which I am allergic to, despite being a non-smoking room. The beds were squeaky and mattresses were sunk in from being too old. The whole stay was very inconvenient and wasted SO much of our time, always waiting around to get help and in trying to get in and out of the room and property! They did not switch our room or offer an upgrade for the trouble. They said they would remove the parking fees, then only took the parking off of one day instead of two. We will never stay there again and would not recommend it to anyone.

Gross
Pros:

Gross room. I stayed in room 808. Worn out duty carpet. Shower wouldn’t drain I kept needing to shut it off so it wouldn’t overflow. Couch filthy, missing pictures on the wall. I wouldn’t stay here again. Showed the counter folks pics and asked for a discount. They did not accommodate my request.

If you care about your health, dont stay here!
Pros:

We had to change rooms because the first room we were given was in an unacceptable and unsanitary condition. There was Toxic mold throughout the room, the carpet was filthy and disgusting, and there were visible urine stains on the bathroom floor and around the side of the toilet.

We immediately brought these issues to the attention of the front desk staff so they switched our room. The second room we were given was not much better. It also had Mold issues and was dirty and poorly maintained. We again brought the condition of the room to the attention of the hotel staff. We spoke with Sam and Sheila regarding the situation and were assured that the matter would be addressed.and requested that the room be properly cleaned. We were assured that the room would be deep cleaned.

After being away from the hotel for approximately 10 hours, we returned to the room at around 9:30 PM. We again went to the front desk because the issues had still not been resolved.

At that point, Kimberly, the hotel’s General Manager, contacted us and personally came to the room to inspect the conditions. She stated that she was not aware of the condition of the room that had been assigned to us. More concerningly, she also acknowledged that the hotel has mold issues in rooms under her management.

This entire experience has been extremely disappointing and unacceptable. We paid for a clean, safe, and properly maintained hotel room, yet we were given multiple rooms that were visibly dirty and appeared to have mold contamination. We repeatedly brought these concerns to hotel staff, yet the problems were not properly addressed.

The fact that we had to repeatedly complain, change rooms, and still were not provided with a clean and acceptable room is completely unacceptable. We expect the hotel to take this matter seriously and provide an appropriate resolution for the conditions we were subjected to during our stay.
