Samantha, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

There were some issues with the system so it was difficult to check in but the front desk staff was very positive about the situation and kept me comfortable until I could get in my room.
Amanda, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

The hotel was under renovations and they did not share this. The place smelt musty and the hot tub wasn't running and the pool was dirty. The only good thing was that the room was clean.

Very nice hotel
1-night trip

8/10 Good

The only issue was parts of the hotel is under construction.
Anne, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

The room smelled like mildew. I could see black stuff in the air conditioner vent. Our door that overlooked the pool was stuck and rusty. The tub was not the cleanest. The restaurant food was not good. My kids didn't eat their pulled pork sandwiches. We paid 697.08 for 2 nights. This was very over priced for the condition of the hotel and room. I will not stay here again and would not recommend it to anyone.
Lori, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

The air conditioner did not work well very noisy. Very old looking room The staff at the buffet was very not friendly.
Donna, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Overall a good experience. We appreciate having the restaurant right in the hotel. The food was very good
Carol, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

This was possibly the worst hotel I've stayed in to date. The positive is the bed is comfortable. First, the room had a broken door that was damaged and wouldn't open or close properly and had missing screws in the hinges. The TV didn't work for two of my three day stay. They finally brought another small TV and set it on the desk for us to watch. The entire hotel smells like mold, damp and urine except for the actual room itself. Outside pool was closed. Indoor pool was hot and smelled horrible as well as the fitness center. This hotel should not be in business until it's remodeled.
Penny, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Catherine, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

The building is undergoing renovation and lacking signs to help navigate you around the building. Floor 1 hallway was wet. The pool room was cold and hot top was taped off. Bar was the bright spot. Friendly, meal was average and watching the line dancing was fun. Wouldn’t stay again until renovation is completed
