It was close to an event I was attending and it was quiet for the most part. I did have someone knock on the door in the middle of the night but I’m sure it was kids just playing around. It was a good place to relax.

Check-in experience was fine even the lobby is absolutely filthy. Our sheets had cigarette burn holes in them when we got in the room. We asked for new sheets and the guy working acted like they were fine. He gave us new ones, also had cigarette burn holes in them. I had to buy my own blankets which i think is sad. I tried calling the following morning for new towels and the front desk guy kept hanging up on me. I eventually got some news ones after flagging a housekeeper down around noon, glad i wasnt in a hurry to go anywhere. The breakfast was a joke. Cereal and waffles in a REFRIGERATOR, so they were soggy. I understand now why this hotel requires payment up front. Not worth a single penny.

Honestly the only nice thing about this place is the chandelier in the entrence of the hotel. Its so dirty our beds where covered in dirt and little rocks all over the beds the pool is sooo grimmy looking n the water is freezing. When we had breakfast we was told we cant take food or drinks back to our room... even though we have a fridge and micerwave. There was no lock on the inside just the keycard lock. The toilet would hardly even flush either. I also think i got lice because my hair and body have been itching non stop since night one at the hotel. We will never return thats for sure. The. We checked out early and cleaned the room. We got called at 11 being told to check out... we already did that. Then they said they would look at the room n see if we would get the deposit back. I still havnt gotten it back n we left that room clean didnt break nothing and still no refund. Worst place eeeeever

Everything about this place is just ok it’s not bad it’s not great the rooms are clean and bug free but it was not like I was spending a lot of money on it and they have a better place then most places I have gone to and paid more on.
