Bed was comfy. Everywhere you went smelt like smoke. The bath tub was dirty and could be resealed. Some of the wiring was faulty and certain outlits didnt work.
I’ve been coming here since they first started work on the place they have done a great job and all their staff is wonderful
We come visit our grandchildren many times a year and we will continue to stay here
The hotel was clean and the front desk staff friendly. The air conditioner in our room was tempremental and we froze a little bit.

The shower was not clean along with the shower curtain, the rugs seemed to have not been vacuumed in a while. There were dead bugs on the wall, but the beds were clean. The staff were nice, exterior and parking were nice.

I liked the quiet atmosphere. I didn't like the disrepair of the room.
Room was clean. But very sketchy otherwise. Did not feel safe. People hanging out in hallways and by open doors. I think they probably live there. Dimos (bar/restaurant)was very clean and had great food. But i wont stay there again.

Pictures are deceiving. No hot water, no dead bolt lock, older hotel. However the food was good in the bar.

Pools were not open and I was looking forward to swimming that why I choose to stay here because I stayed here before and like the pool area but I feel like I got ripped off with my money
Decades ago this may have been the best hotel in the area. They had a good pool area, arcade, and still have a nice gym. Dino's restaurant is attached to the hotel which is a nice feature.
Currently, this hotel is old, dirty and outdated. It is affordable and the housekeeping staff did do a good job. Ammenities like the hot tub are out of order. The ripped up carpeting made me hesitant to travel anywhere but the room to the exit. The parking lot is so bad, I worried about getting a flat tire driving in and out.
On a positive note, I stayed here for three nights and you could tell they are agressively remodeling. They have alot of work to do but have to the potential to become a decent hotel once again.
The room was fair but a steel folding chair? The hallways were filthy! Couldn't connect to the Internet! Fridge smelled! No ice (machine out of order). TV remote held together with scotch tape.

The lobby smelled like animal urine and smoke. The room was cleaned but also smelled so, so bad. Again animal urine, smoke....I dont know but it really ruins the hotel. I have spent less at nice hotels.

It was ok it doesn't offer any complimentary utensils, the ice machine has been broken for years, and the pool is closed. What's also sucks is that the gym recently closed.
No amenities - didn't have any plastic or glass or any containers to drink out of nor any ice buckets (which didn't matter as the ice machine was out of order). No coffee available; pool and hot tub empty & not available; "game room" machines gone; room curtains & box spring mattresses shredded. Mattress comfortable enough but extends over foot of bed & when I sat on edge to put on my shoes the mattress flipped and I fell onto ground (didn't get hurt). I've stayed there many times - last around 5 years ago & will never stay there again. The current cliental are less than desirable (just an observation - not a judgement). I only wound up staying. is because of Dino's restaurant right next door and they are wonderful. Also, I was only staying overnight. So sad - used to be OK.
It’s definitely not the Hilton but the price was the best in the area. The room was clean, the staff is friendly and the TV & AC both work. What more do you need in a room you only need for sleeping?! I would definitely stay here again 👍
