Hotel overall is in need of a good remodel. There’s a lot of patchwork, rooms smell humid and old. I had requested 2 rooms that communicated and when I arrived I was informed that they don’t have any but one of my rooms had the door inside. A/C was barely cold regardless of the settings, you could hear everything in hallways and others rooms. Lobby floor was always dirty or stained. Best thing was Rick, the shuttle driver. He was lovely!

Not taken care of

The property is fairly new but not taken care of. The bathroom door had a hole in it. The tub has red stains. The carpet was worn. There was hardly any amenities in the room. No hair dryer, q tips or cotton, no shower cap. It is a shame what has happened to this property.

I rented two rooms. One had no hot water in the shower. The other the phone didn’t work, the air conditioner did not blow cold air. Both bath tubs were dingy. They may have been clean but they need to be resurfaced.
