• Inexpensive.
• Not very clean.

“Hotel needs to clean the hall rugs, they have a musty odor. If the hotel was cleaner it would be a nice place to stay.”

• Good shower head.
• Beds were old, worn out and lumpy, grease on blanket, no replacement.

“It was not pleasant, beds were tattered and blankets were dirty. No help from the front desk staff, we had to sleep with only a sheet to cover, did not clean between days.”

• Location.
• Room smelled bad, pool area was dirty and whirlpool was cold, staff was not friendly.

“This hotel needs a total renovation. It looked as if half of the rooms were closed. I would never stay at this place again unless it does a complete renovation, and hires friendlier staff. There were no towels for the pool, and the place was not even filled, there were many empty rooms and I was told that there were no non-smoking rooms.”

• Close to location desired.
• Run down.

“After checking the room, I canceled my reservation and went to a new extended stay hotel for less than $10.00 a night more. 15 minutes away, but I felt I was in a nicer area with a much nicer room.”

• Nothing.
• This place is a dump and dangerous.

“Location is terrible. The place is run down and in a dangerous area of town. The restaurant is closed. Garbage strewn throughout parking lot. Blinds on windows are wrecked. Glass is filthy. We were scared to death to stay there.”

• The pool was kid friendly and good temp for the time of year.
• Non smoking wing reeked of cigarettes all the time and lamp had no bulbs in them.

“This hotel was comfortable, inexpensive with a good pool area however the hotels upkeep was an issue and this hotel is in need of renovation. The non smoking wing smelled as if we were sleeping in an ashtray all the time. This hotel catered to layover truck drivers which seem to be its main source of income. It was good for what we used it for however I should seek a better rating for my family getaways!”

• The pool and hot tub were great.
• The hotel front desk people were very rude.

“The maintenance person and the cleaning people were very helpful with the questions I had but the front desk people need to learn some manners.”

• Nothing.
• The bathroom was dirty with hair on the floor, tub and sink, and a dead bug carpet not vacuumed and a decal in the bed.

“This hotel was in a good location. It was not what you advertised. There was not any hot tub, much less in the room. I could not have soaked in the tub anyway because there was hair in it, as well as on the floor and in the sink. There was even a pubic hair stuck to the back of the door. There was a dead bug behind the garbage can in the bathroom. There was a butterfly decal in the bed by the headboard. The carpet was visibly dirty and the fan in the bathroom did not work. The people in the hotel were nice, but not apologetic in the least for the condition of the room.”

• It was very easy to get to and clean.
• Extremely close to the airport but could not hear airplanes when in the room.

“This was a very short notice hotel stay. we probably could have gotten a better deal had we known we were going to be traveling but all in all it was a nice clean hotel with a restaurant, lounge and pool. if we had any neighbors, we couldn't hear them. our room had a sliding door and the rooms on the second floor had a small balcony. very nice to sit outside while the kids watched a show on TV.”
