The hotel was centrally located. Walkable to old town with lots of restaurants options nearby. Pool was great, wish you didn’t have to walk to the lobby to grab a drink during the week. The property, lobby, pool area, and gym were well kept. The bathroom in the room needs love, along with the towels. Not very clean and not up to par with the vibe the hotel gives off.

This is an old motel that is advertised as a hotel. I would have never stayed here. After staying here I would never stay again. It is an old motel with a popcorn ceiling and chipping paint in bath tub.

This property is older and you can tell once you arrive however, it was clean and staff was nice. The first night e we had no washcloths in our room, there was a cleaning cart near by but nobody around, I tried to find washcloths myself and there was only towels and hand towels on the cart. I did not call down to ask it wasn’t such a big deal. While using the gym we tried all the light switches and it was only barely lit up. Enough you could see but the amount of light is what you would leave on over night. At the ice machine they also had a filter water station that was very appreciated. We used the hot tub, it was nice and warm and the pressure on the jets were good. I would stay here again

Would have expected more

For $300/night I would in todays day expect a medium range quality accommodation. The fan in our bedroom was LOUD. It sounded like an airplane was coming in for a landing - which isn’t the most pleasant sound to wake up to at 2am. The tiles and grout in the bathroom were cracked and worn. The slides on the patio doors were broken and the room never got below 74 degrees.

The online hotel pictures showed a much better room than is the actual room, but it was OK. The service was very good. The pool/spa area is great and very clean.

So this is the first time I stayed here, it was cheaper and I got what I paid for, the hotel bar is kind of a joke, but the bar tender I had was amazing, its super close to old town which was easy and fun. The shower was horrible, but it served its purpose

Location is EXCELLENT. This is an older property that has been pretty well kept. We could NOT get the hot water to work in the shower. 2 days if cold showers sucked.

This property is totally rated wrong. Although it is in walking distance to old town, the pics you see in their ad it over exaggerated. Property is very old and run down and grounds not kept up at all. I really wish I could attach pics I took. Cleaning staff also took items and threw out as they thought it was garbage, that were not any where near the trash can. These were items we just purchased and were in a grocery bag. I would not recommend and I will not stay here again.

If you're looking for the college party crowd...

I didn't realize when i booked this place that it's really meant for spring breaker and college party type guests. The room was in very rough condition and dirty. I've stayed in worse places but not at that price point.

The location is great! The rooms below par and need updating. Patios need chairs. Pool loungers are falling apart and very uncomfortable. If you have a pool bar, make sure someone is working it. Property need paint and facelift. Nothing like advertised.
