    It was a good, quick booking for what we needed. I would stay there again.

    It’s was cheap and easy

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Bedding had what looked like pet hair in it, bathroom was disgusting. Molding around shower had black spots on it. Open hole above mirror in bathroom showed wiring. 1 outlet only between beds and it was broken. Grout in bathroom is supposed to be white, most of it was black. Just gross all the way around. Talked to the front desk, said they would upgrade, but we didn't want to stay we were so grossed out. Front desk said they would reimburse us. We will see....

    Amazing workers. My room was clean. The hotel was clean. The pool was absolutely immaculate. I loved the the heated pool and the water was nice and clear. Parking was amazing. Will definitely be coming back again

    The bed made noise every time we moved and kept us awake most of the night. The room was clean, but smelled like chemicals. The hot tub in our room was also sub par, it took forever to fill up and there were no jets working on the back, only the legs and knee area. Breakfast was disgusting. The sausages were not even warm and the one bite I tried, I had to spit back out. The waffle maker had burnt waffle in it when I went to use it. I tried to clean it out for others and use the Pam that was by the maker, but it was also empty. No attention was paid to the cleanliness of the breakfast area either, like no one was monitoring. Very dissappointing. The only other bread option was toast. We will not be back.

    We couldn’t use the jacuzzi, got $50 of our deposit taken when we were told there was a $150 deposit. We even cleaned the room before we left to make sure we would get it back so if I don’t get that deposit back this isn’t gonna be good. Would never recommend this to anyone with the hidden feed

    Came in town for the AAU Track & Field Nationals. We had a great time the hotel was basic but had exactly what we needed for our stay.

    Good plc

    Friday evening a group of underage teens accessed a room and invaded the hallways from 2am to nearly 5am near my room and in the parking lot. This group had drugs, alcohol and according to the Front Desk via telephone had a weapon. I contacted the Desk several times and implored them to contact Law Enforcement (I did not see any Police). THIS PROPERTY IS NOT SAFE!!!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The staff is very friendly, fast check in. My room was clean no complaints. The hallways and pool area could use some attention on cleaning. The breakfast was good. Overall I would return.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Really nice property BUT THE BEDS SUCK!!! Had a 12 hour drive and just wanted to sleep. 😭 ac cold, breakfast good, friendly staff. If you like a harder mattress this is the place for you. My hips and back were mad at me in the morning.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Place was dirty and had mold in the rooms, requested a refund and went and found another place to stay. Place is a dump. Looks good by the pictures but that’s where I draw the line

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The most dirty place I have ever been to! Dirty, cold, hasn’t been touched in years, the stares to get to second floor full of garbage. I bet most good reviews on here are AI chat bots. We checked in, I am with 2 small kids and the rooms are right next to a banquet hall which had a wedding from 6:00pm-4:00am. We checked out and went to Sheraton which is 10 min from there and the price was very close. I would never ever ho there again. The pictures on Expedia and their website do no justice how unmaintained and dirty this place was!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The bathtub over flooded, there was human matter on the lampshades, the lamps were rusted out, the hallways were soaked with water with fans in them the room smelled like mildew, they were too completely different beds in the room so they looked very odd, the desk almost fell on me. I literally had to hand tighten three of the four legs on the desk when I set my laptop on it it almost collapsed. The hygiene in the bathroom was cheap. I would not recommend this place to anyone I had to ask for a full refund.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The hotel and rooms were clean. We were supposed to have clean towels but one was not also around the tub needed to be painted or caulked looked like there had been mold there. Parking in the rear was not idea dumpster was overflowing with trash around the dumpster. Pool had extremely to much chlorine changed swimsuit color.

    El hotel no es malo pero el desayuno es muy pobre😔😔😔

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Nada a reclamar. Quarto limpo, roupa de cama limpo. Café da manhã simples. Para mim, não precisava mais.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The Properties conveniently located less than 5 minutes from the airport. It has been updated and well maintained. The pool area has a retro feel but my timeline did not allow for use of the amenities

    Staff was very helpful. Property has many signs of aging. And the elevator was inconveniently located from the lobby.
