Nice hotel with free parking and pool.
Very convenient location, safe area, with nice features. Parking was free and easy. Pool area was nice. Hotel could use some updating, but overall nice place to stay. Hotel staff was very nice and eager to help with anything needed.

No action taken after Text message from Front Desk
Everything was good. Except we needed more toilet paper and towels. Texted the person who had reached out about checkin received a response and said everything would be taken care of. It never was. I finally went down at 10 pm when we returned to get everything. Other than that…the cook at the resturant was not the friendliest, and was bothered I asked for an omelet to be made. He may have been short staffed, but was not kind.

Good stay
Great service. Our first room had a leaky faucet. They quickly got us into a different room. We enjoyed the hotel. Staff was incredible. We would have liked better communication as far as the cafe in that it was closed Christmas Day. We did not know that it would be and were counting on it being opened. Otherwise no complaints.

Hotel was nice and room was nice. But as soon as you walked into the hotel room it smelled heavy of cat urine. I have let the hotel know and they are suppose to get back with me.

Disappointing
This hotel is very dated, has a general dampness throughout, and the rooms all smell like cat pee. At first we had to ask for a new room bc the smell was so bad- but the next room was the same. I realized it’s some sort of cleaning agent they are using in housekeeping. It was strong enough to make me sick. The bathroom was rusty and very much in need of updating. Desperately need new carpeting. I was afraid all our stuff would smell from being there overnight. I definitely would not stay here again, esp for the price.
Also- it’s a huge hotel. Think buses full of teenage sports teams. People were running up and down the halls screaming and hoo-rah ing down in the lobby until past 10pm. Learned our lesson booking a room in a big hotel vs smaller one.

Unfortunately, the parking lot was targeted during our stay and several trucks were broken into and items stolen. Out truck window was cracked but the thieves weren't successful in getting through.
