Such a nice hotel for the price. Very excited that they are able to keep the cost down. The room really was in very good condition It looks like they’ve done quite a few upgrades and everything was clean and smelled fresh

Great hotel! Clean rooms and the pool in the middle was neat! Kind of a let down that the jetted tub didn’t work and the tv is run on someone’s private Amazon account. Overall it was good!

Good place to stay
Manuel, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

There was a gaping hole in our bathroom where the fan should be. The light stopped working in the bathroom while showering so I had to open the door causing steam to set off the fire alarm at 7 in the morning. When I contacted the staff to let them know, they told me to turn on the light on my phone and close the door while I finish showering. The pool in the middle is great in theory until you get a bunch of drunk people echoing down there. Was the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. I wasn’t going to leave a bad review, but after I emailed management after our stay and got no response I figure they deserve it.

This is a perfectly nice, clean hotel. The staff is nice and helpful. The only reason I did not score this hotel higher, was due to the amenities. Sometimes its nice to have the convenience of things at your hotel.
