Tameco Aug 18, 2025 11:12:45 AM
Summary: The pool was not working. The tap of the room number fell off. The toilet did not flush well. The shower floor had hair on it.
Scott Aug 4, 2025 07:00:25 PM
Summary: The hotel is ok . It is undergoing renovations. The biggest complaint was the temperature of the room. It was 74 degrees even though we set the temperature at 67. The air was very stale with no movement. We slept with just a sheet over us.
Aug 4, 2025 04:36:44 AM
Summary: Air conditioning not working in our room, so had to move to different room. Air conditioning in lobby and common area not working well. Very disappointed that pool was closed, as we had looked forward to swimming with our children. The breakfast was really bad.
Carissa Jul 25, 2025 09:18:47 PM
Summary: It was a great experience. It was not hard to find, the staff were very friendly and the room was clean and cozy. The breakfast wasn’t the best, the biscuits were rock hard. They are remodeling but that doesn’t take away much from the experience. Will definitely stay there again

Summary: My stay was fine...went to check out and the lady was amazing since I was dressed for my wedding
Shannon Jul 4, 2025 07:19:21 PM
Summary: I've been staying at this hotel periodically for last 20 years for our family reunion. It's been several different names, but the building has remained. The signs posted show that the building is under construction with updating, which it definitely needs. We stayed in the 4th floor and they had been painting recently as our room numbers were affixed with blue painters tape. Inside, everything was clean and updated so no concerns with our room. They did not have a roll away bed for my 6-year-old son so I had to bring a fold out cot for him since we're a family of 5. The hotel has a "fitness center" which is just a couple of cardio machines thrown in a room. The atrium had a morning breakfast buffet included (just ok) but every single table was wobbly. The pool used way to much chlorine and had a side drain that wasn't draining so a moat formed from all the splashing. The bathrooms in the pool hadn't been cleaned in I don't know how long since there was a black ring around the toilet. No towels were restocked. I did hear a staff member complain (I was walking by) at some point about the workload from being understaffed. I could definitely tell. I only saw 3-4 employees all weekend. The attached restaurant is now a Mexican restaurant and they were very accommodating for our large group and the food was pretty good for the area. All in all, the hotel needs some work and help, so hopefully it will be revived when I'm back in 2 years.

Summary: There were random drunk homeless people asleep in the hall. There was a bug in my bed. There was a random shirt left from a previous guest left by the door.
Ricardo Jun 17, 2025 03:19:08 AM
Summary: Great!
Stephanie Jun 10, 2025 12:06:39 AM
Summary: Could just use a good cleaning. We could tell its a work in progress. This hotel has so much potential!! I would suggest a way to cool it better. With the pool in an area that is open, the lobby and seating area feel hot and humid. The workers were all friendly and helpful.
Michelle Jun 8, 2025 05:12:45 AM
Summary: Room was nice and clean. Enjoyed the Mexican restaurant on site for an after hours drink and appetizer. Breakfast was average. Could have had more of a variety of food.
