We were looking forward to staying at this hotel because it advertised an onsite restaurant. Upon arrival we were informed that the restaurant was only open Thursday-Saturday. It would have been nice if this little tidbit had been mentioned on their website. However the biggest problem was MOLD in the bathroom!! I notified the front desk and she was very apologetic and refunded our parking fee. She said since we had already paid for the room that was all she was able to do. The fee was 12.00. Don’t trust the pictures on this hotel’s website. They are very deceptive

This room was disappointing: the shower was dirty, the room floor was very wet, we didnt get enough cups, there are no outlets near the night tables to charge phones, some outlets did not work, the tv does not have a guide.

This property needs updating. Not enough outlets in the room. Air conditioner was so loud I couldn’t hear TV. No phone. The only good thing was, it is close to my destination.

This is more like a motel set-up than a hotel. There are no elevators, so a room on the bottom floor seemed like a good idea. It was, until the people upstairs checked in and I could hear every step they took. Also, the cleanliness of the bathroom was questionable. There was visible mildew on the shower caulking and tile grout. I will not stay here again.

Liked the grounds of hotel & that’s about it. Not a pleasant experience. Room was very mediocre. Very noisy HCAC unit that kept waking us up for three nights. Poor breakfast. Overpriced for what we got. Should have booked somewhere else.
