Nothing was working. No AC...the card keys had to be reset twice a day...I cut my stay short and moved to another place. I may come back when they refurbishe the place because it's a great location. Right now, it's just falling apart. Tragic.

Dated. Dirty. Disgusting. Disappointed.

This hotel was horrible. Dirty and gross. Total bait and switch with the photos. Don’t stay here. Hopefully you read the reviews. Spend the extra money for a Holiday Inn
Lim, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The hotel was in terrible condition. The air conditioning was not working and other guests were complaining that their shower was not working. Many people were getting refunds and checking out as the same time as us. The employee working at reception was helpful and apologetic. We booked the room because of the location - not expecting much - but it was pretty bad. Luckily we didn’t spend the night and got a refund.
Jason, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The A/C was out in the whole hotel and it was 89 degrees F that day. TV did not work. Bathtub had its surface coming off. Only two hangers for clothes. Dirty/stained bed sheets.

Many things aren't working: AC, ice machines, pool, some of the doors. It's due for a reno in December and it really needs it. I think they don't want to put any money into fixing anything before the reno so it's slowly going downhill.

Dustin, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Slept in an oven.

Have you ever stay in a hotel room with no air conditioning in 92 degrees heat. Well, we did and it was terrible. The whole building's AC was broken and they couldn't get it fixed. And the bath tub was really bad. dirty and needed to be replaced. The shower curtain was old and torn !! Of course they charged me the full rate !!
Alexander, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice staff, not so nice temperature!

The air conditioning system dis not work in the entire building. It was so hot in the rooms and the hallway. We had a sliding glass door that said we could only open 3 inches but it was so unbearable we opened it further. The staff was so nice and they were so hot and still had a smile. The ice machines did not work but the front staff had ice in a cooler for guests. The was a carnival going on below us so we heard music and laughter that was ok with us! The room we were in had a beautiful view too.
Tina, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I did not check into the room, as there was no AC in the entire building and they stated they were not going to fix it and they were going to shut down.

The rooms and facility are in need of repair, deep cleaning, and renovation. The staff was personable, lobby was very small but nice. Great coffee shops near by..
