This is an old property that is slowly being renovated, but the improvements reflect a low budget. It is overpriced; we would not return to this location.

The swimming pool wasn't that clean had to take out some black bugs and the hot tub didn't work. In the morning went to get some ice and the ice machine was given no ice. My room was supposed to have a hair dryer but no it had a sign $45 dollars for a hair dryer.

Pros:

The hotel was OK, close to where I needed to be. The breakfast was not very good, and when I went to eat, the person working the front desk was loud and on the phone the entire time, I went back to my room to pack up and then check out, she was still on the phone, very loud and didn't even stop talking on the phone when I was checking out. Not a place I want to stay again.
