The hotel was decent, I stayed one night good location, I would recommend if that was the only hotel that had a vacancy. It could use some updates change the carpeting it had a smell in the lobby, the towels were old need to be thrown away it’s unsanitary. I missed breakfast so can’t comment on that

We stayed here a few years ago and thought it was great. However, our current stay is not so good. This is a non smoking hotel yet our room reeks of smoke. I told the front desk and she gave me some citrus spray. Now it smells like smoke with orange citrus stink!!!

I didn’t find staff to be helpful. My tv had no volume. When AI asked for towels I was told they were out for the day. The only thing I was satisfied with was the hot and fresh breakfast.

Improvement of principles needed

The property was okay but you can quickly tell the property is not being maintained like it should and will quickly deteriorate. The customer service was also poor. I arrived at 2pm and there was a woman checking in in front of me and I herd the manager tell her that check in was at 4pm but he had a couple rooms and he would be able to check her in if she paid a $25 fee. She was obviously irritated but reluctantly agreed to pay the fee. Then it was my turn and conveniently he had the same couple of rooms available if I was willing to pay the fee. The exact type of room that I booked just happened to be available if I was willing to pay the fee. I just feel the integrity of this hotel is not what it needs to be and I will not be staying there again.

The check-in process takes too long and the indoor water park hours aren’t great but the property itself is wonderful for the price.
