It’s mid.

Pros: It was clean: sheets, tub, and microwave. That’s the most important thing. Staff was nice. Lobby was okay. Room was very comfortable and cooled. Cons: The AC stank. It had a musky smell. The breakfast was not good even for 2 star hotel I expected better. Only noticed elevator on 1 end of a big hotel. Vestibule carpets need a shampoo are get different flooring. It’s okay for 100 a night right next to campus. Pay $160 and get a better experience.

Not what I expected from the ratings. It seems a lot of people occupying the hotel are living there. Overall the staff was very nice, and anyone we encountered was polite. The room was adequate but the common areas and grounds are sub par.

Asked for a King Accessible room and got a second floor Double Queen. Key cards didn’t work initially and had to go all the way back down to the desk to have them reprogrammed. Corridors are dingy and the plastic corner protectors are falling off the walls. Inside the room there was a convulsing roach that I named Rodney and bits of his friends all over the bathroom (leg in the soap-dish? They thought of EVERYTHING!). Shower head was weird and very low pressure. Towels had holes in them and I felt the need to shake them all out and keep them in the dry cleaning bag just in case Rodney had an intact cousin. Bed seemed clean but it was rock hard and the room had an overall “dirty” vibe to it. Like, you leave the hotel and feel like you need a shower and to immediately decontaminate everything you brought with you before you go back into your house.

Breakfast was mediocre, there were 3 dead roaches on our balcony right outside our door. Hotel pool was completely falling apart and had a ton of debris in it. Room itself was fairly clean though just outdated.

The reviews do not show how the hotel really is

The hotel is very worn down and old. I switched my original room bc it smelled like mold. The breakfast wasn’t that edible. Staff was friendly. Pool is tiny. Hotel needs a lot of cosmetic work.

Generally the room was OK but requires a major upgrade. The (old) AC unit was dropping black (mold) on my pillows and the bathroom vent did the same on the floor. Internet service was poor, sheets were dirty for the spare bed: one had black soil on it the other was spotted with red dots! They gave us no blanket for the pull out sofa.

The gentleman who checked me was very nonchalant. He didn’t say when breakfast was, didn’t give me the WiFi password and just said “ I need your card in case your dog messes on the floor”, to which I replied my dog is trained. Which he needs to be in order to handle the public.

Disappointed by the stay. Reviews looked great, but I think they oversold what the property is really like. The staff was great and friendly, but the room seemed outdated with an old, uncomfortable bed, and the shower pressure was barely enough to come out of the shower head. The stay was fine and it got the job done, but this place was not worth the price to stay there.

We checked in after a 7-hour drive, completely exhausted, only to find out our room keys weren’t working. We went back to the front desk, only to be told the keys were working. After going back and forth, they finally agreed to come check—after we waited another 10 minutes—and confirmed the keys were indeed not working. We then had to wait another 10 minutes to get a new room. That alone was already frustrating. Once we got into the new room, we discovered: • The shower didn’t work • The TV wasn’t working • The toilet was clogged and would take a few minutes just to flush properly We were too tired to even bring these up again. This was just a really bad experience overall. Basic room functionality should be standard. Definitely not the kind of welcome we expected after a long journey.
