The hotel was dump. Smelled like pee everywhere, elevator broken, they false advertise the stay accomodations...and the Manager on duty was rude and dishonest. Steer clear of this one. It isn't even in a good location.

The hotel is being renovated when we were there, so hopefully the owners continue with this to bring it back to its former appeal. The beds were quite comfortable and the TV was excellent and huge, with Roku service.

Take in mind POOL & BREAKFAST isn’t available. Clean bed and rooms. Can’t complain for the price. Just disappointed about the pool. It looks like it used to be a beautiful hotel.

The room itself was very nice and clean. The pool has been closed from the health department. Which was a huge bummer because it rained and we were unable to do our scheduled plans which is why I chose this hotel as a back up plan.

I can’t complain much for the price paid. It was cheap enough and the room was clean. However, it is a very old hotel. The indoor pool is currently not operational. There was no cart be available to transport luggage from your vehicle to your room. we asked for a rollaway bed and was told it was not available. The television does not have local channels. Just Roku. I had to go downstairs to go get a remote for the television. There is no phone, coffee, maker, or microwave in the room. There is no continental breakfast or coffee in the lobby. It served its purpose. I just needed a place to stay after the game.

The service was terrible, staff support was lacking, the 3rd floor was a storage place, and it was given to me for a room to stay.
I came in at 2:00 AM, and despite the fact it was late at night, I had to return the room and got out to find a more suitable hotel to stay.
I asked for the full refund the next day -- talked to Rago the manager -- and was told that the refund would be done immediately. Thank you, Josepj Nguyen
