Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Booked six nights, left after one. We chose this hotel last minute after my mother’s death and prepaid for a king suite with a jetted tub. Affordable, but not worth it. Exterior looks nothing like the photos—beige and worn, not white—and it’s right next to train tracks. Inside was nicer than expected, but within 10 minutes I found a baggie of crystal meth next to the bed. I brought it to the front desk; the clerk looked shocked, said they’d “talk to housekeeping,” and that was the end of it. Other issues: met a drunk man in the hallway at 5pm, no “Do Not Disturb” sign in the room, housekeeping is REQUIRED every couple days, tiny TV mounted too high to watch, awkward tub you can’t recline in, bathroom blinds that leave a chest-high gap facing the parking lot. Worst of all, the Wi-Fi was unusable. Took 7 minutes to send a text; speed test showed 0.26 Mbps download. I planned to work remotely but couldn’t. Combined with safety concerns, it was a dealbreaker. We checked out after one night. The room itself wasn’t filthy, but drugs, security issues, and no internet make this place a hard no.

Our stay was average, we did have a comfortable bed. As a business traveler I felt room was not that adaptable for work purposes, work desk had no useable outlets for my electronic equipment, lighting was not so good, the room was just average. I assume for the price, was okay. I would recommend upgrade to room to make more attractive to business travelers. People would pay the higher rate if needed if the amenities were available. Overall our stay was adequate.

A Very Pleasant Surprise

Honestly... I don't understand the "bad" reviews. This is actual a nice place ... kind of the "best kept secret". Sure ... it is dated ... but trying to be updated as they go. (When was the last time you were in a granite tiled shower.) A HEATED POOL" ... WOW ... good hot tub to sit in and go between the two. Rooms were clean / orderly. All in all ... a nice place (especially for the price in the area).

Ants on my feet

Office help minimal. Disrepair everywhere you look inside and out. ‘Breakfast’ consists of muffins, cold cereal, 2 juices and luke warm coffee with only dry creammer packs. Woke up second day to hundreds of ants swarming the bathroom floor (our feet) and tub with a stream going to garbage can. No AAA discount on top of it all.

Place was really clean and staff was very professional and proactive about requests. We booked 3 rooms and have 0 complaints. This place is definitely worth it for money. I would definitely come back here.
