The door to the bathroom kept coming off for some reason ??? And it would get stuck when it was closed all the way making it difficult to get out of the bathroom. So we had to leave it like halfway open all the time. Water was shut off randomly at times and the next day they gave us set times to use the water because throughout the day it did not work at all. So we couldn’t shower or flush or anything and sometimes the water wouldn’t even turn on at the time it was supposed. Not the best !!

The first room they gave us was absolutely terrible. The toilet didnt flush, the walls were dirty, the place was really beaten up. We were moved to another room, which was very nice, however, we only had water between certains hours for the day. We didnt have our room cleaned, or clean towels or garbage taken out for 2 days. It was terrible. I will never stay at this hotel ever again. We got several different stories as to why they were conservering water.

Beautiful view from my room. I was only there for one night. The bar area is nice. Bartender was great. Would be challenging to get around with a wheelchair, walker…. Sidewalks and ramps not ADA compliant. Steep in spots. I didn’t see a ramp up to the check in/out office. I had to drag my suitcase up 4 stairs.

Good: room was clean, bed comfortable. Bad: Check-in took too long, the lady had printer issues. There's no ice or water for guests. The pool was closed, which was a big reason we booked it. The overall atmosphere of the building was an apartment, rather than hotel.
