The location was convenient, the hotel seemed like an "upscale" hotel but was very affordable. The courtyard was inviting and quiet. Breakfast was better than most and the dining room surpassed my expectations. Room was clean and the door didn't slam shut like the doors in every hotel I've ever stayed at.

15 minutes delay on check-in with only one clerk, although she was efficient at it. Carpets throughout the facility need deep cleaning. HVAC system needs attention with high humidity throughout. Nice breakfast area. Wi-Fi does not allow VPN connections.

We were checked into our 1st room in which we paid an extra 40 dollars to have acces to a patio. We get into the room and it immediately smells so musty. We set our things down and i look around. I immediately find ants crawling all over the bathroom. They were on the toilet , in the sink, floor and shower. My husband then goes to the front desk to notify them of this. The guy at the front desk sends us to another room. We get inside and it again smells musty . I then go to the bathroom and this time there is MOLD all over the ceiling, under the sink and around the mirror. The patio door from the inside has leaves sticks and dirt all on the inside . The patio is just a door that leads to a table with an ashtray on top. The cleanliness of this hotel isnt even on the scale. I wouldnt even rate it.Outdated and uncared for is an understatement. DISCUSTING. POOR MANAGEMENT. I laid awake all night because of how discusting I felt. I couldnt wait to LEAVE THIS PLACE. The owners/management should do everyone a favor and tear this place down.

I really like everything about this facility except that they didn't have a soap dish on the bathroom sink. Plus they didn't have soap, shampoo, or conditioner in the shower like they advertise. Other than that our stay way perfect.
