2/10 Poor

Online pictures are very misleading. Everything is polished online. It looks very nice and clean. Appears to be updated but when you go in person, it’s totally different. The facility is worn out. It looks so depressing very old we found mold in the bathroom. The bedsheets had stains. The headboard of the bed had stains. The furniture were dirty worn out and it looked like it was in the rain for a while so he got rusted also online it says one king bed body shows you two queen beds in the picture and then when you look at the two queen bed option and the only shows one king bed so the whole thing is just overall bad experience. I did message management about the matter and requesting a full refund and not a partial refund because we left the same day we checked in in less than one hour and they never responded back so that shows you what kind of company management you’re dealing with

Very Comfortable and $100 Deposit

It was a comfortable place to stay for sure. Just keep in mind there is a $100 deposit that needs to be paid up before you check in. However if you keep the room clean you can get that money back at checkout

Working its way up

Hotel is obviously in the midst of an upgrade. You can still find some items of the former named hotel around. TVs, bedding, carpet all newer upgrades. Breakfast needs some work, but change tales time and plenty of breakfast spots close by. Great Mexican restaurant next door.

6/10 Good

I just wished the breakfast options each morning would have changed up a bit. At least add bacon, REAL orange juice and not Sunny D and freanch toast sticks. But front desk staff was amazing and available when I needed them. Rooms condition was worse than the pictures online and walls were filthy, had to ask to get a table or something clean by the front desk as cleaning staff was just chatting away.

4/10 Fair

The hotel is currently under renovation. A lot of painting and maintenance is being done. In my room the carpet was dirty and stained. The couch was dirty and stained. The bathroom was clean and the bed was comfortable. There were roaches in the dresser cabinet. The breakfast was adequate but not great. Asked to check in 15 minutes early and was told it would be $30 extra.

The stay was good. It’s clean and quiet. Staff was ok, not really welcoming. We couldn’t watch any Television because they had no remotes for us to use. Hoping I get my $100 deposit!
