I was very disappointed. The room I paid for seemed to be not available , and be prepared for roaches to visit. This made it difficult to sleep and feel comfortable. I hope management addresses the cleanliness issues soon, as this location has potential but needs major improvement in hygiene and maintenance.

Its an older hotel. In fairly good shape though. Quiet, clean. Room was nice. Breakfast was excellent. Pool sparkling clean. Check in and out was a breeze. We really enjoyed our stay. Would use this hotel again for our next trip.

The pictures are deceiving. This looks more like a motel. The elevators were down and cable was out. I did appreciate them transferring my reservation to the Holiday Inn with no charge. The young lady upfront was very nice as well.

We did not stay at that place. At arrival, there were two untrustable persons, one outside and the other one was inside the location, this one joined the one outside. When my family noticed that, they got nervous and we decided to leave the place, at the same time we asked for reimbursement and they denied to reimbursement.

I was highly disappointed with my stay. After we paid they waited to inform us the elevators were out and the maintenanceman will be there to fix it. It never got fixed and I stayed on the 4th floor so i had to carry everything up and down. Also had holes in the walls and Roaches inside the bedroom and Livingroom. I informed the staff and they said it was nothing they can do and they have no on-site manager. I will never stat there again
