Given wrong room number at check-in. Room was already occupied. Remedied situation quickly. Room was clean but definitely showed signs of age and wear. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast offerings were coffee, juice and pre-packaged muffins and danish.

Worst experience ever and we were only there 3 hrs
We checked in at 3:55 only to arrive at a room that had not been cleaned. After waiting over an hour and a half longer we enter a room that smelled horribly of smoke (we requested a non-smoking room). That was powdery pebbles on the carpet that my 8 year stepped in. I called the front desk for someone to come vacuum. They asked me if I had waited for the room to be cleaned before entering?!! When the housekeeper arrived he said, ‘Sorry about that. It’s the end of the day. You know how it is.’ And proceeded to vacuum the whole room. I checked the room after he left. Pictures show the beds had not been changed. Towels in the bathroom were wet. Tables and counters were wet.
The pool and hot tub were closed as well. Manager said it was on the website but the website did not include Sunday or Monday, the days we were staying. He claimed to cancel our reservation but so far I have not seen a cancellation in my account nor have I seen a refund. AND he had the nerve to ask me not to leave a bad review!

A place to lay your head
The Hotel needs some TLC. The staff was good but they were limited with help. They definitely did their part. The hotel needs some maintenance especially in the bathroom. The maintenance looks to be done armature at best with no sense of pride or just pressured for a quick fix. The Hotel has a lot of potential.
