“Not much to tell”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed August 23, 2012

We stayed at this hotel with the kids because it had an outdoor pool. Pool was not very big but enough to get wet. The hotel room was musky smelling which wasn't that bad after I left the door open and turn the air down for a bit. The shower did not drain well so after 1 of got a bath and the next needed to jump in you were pretty much in dirty water. The waffle station was good for breakfast but not much else filled or available when we went down. Don't think I would stay at this place again. Hotel staff was very nice other than that not much else.

Room Tip: no fitness center.

“Don't Bother”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed May 31, 2012

The only good thing about this place is that the staff is friendly. Other than that I have nothing good to say about this place.

“Worst hotel experience ever”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed April 10, 2012 via mobile

This hotel is nothing like the pictures posted on various booking sites. This place is extremely outdated, they advertise this place as newly renovated when in reality the only "new" thing about it is the front desk area. The rooms are filthy, and smell of stale cigarette smoke. The ice machine looks like it was taken from a dump, I would not even think about using it. The sink was full of someone elses hair. The owner of the hotel was completely unprofessional, rude, and argumentative. He actually called the cops on me and my family because I complained of the conditions of the hotel. When the cops arrived the owner of the hotel made up a story of under-aged drinking and partying. The cop could see with his own eyes that I was there with my family, and there was no acohol or parting going on, not to mention UNDERAGED GIRLS! We were told we had to leave the hotel because the owner didn't want us on his property. My family and I were forced to pack up our belongings and leave the hotel in the middle of the night, WITHOUT a refund. We then had to go pay another 90.00 for a different room at a different hotel. If you are reading this review DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL!
