Needs updating
Very minimal amenities. No hair dryer or coffee maker. The room was in need of updating and repairs. The curtains were shredded, and the paint was peeling by the window. In the bathtub not sure if the grout was just dirty or it was mold. I will say the hotel.is quiet and the housekeeper knocked everyday and asked if I needed anything.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Decades ago this may have been the best hotel in the area. They had a good pool area, arcade, and still have a nice gym. Dino's restaurant is attached to the hotel which is a nice feature. Currently, this hotel is old, dirty and outdated. It is affordable and the housekeeping staff did do a good job. Ammenities like the hot tub are out of order. The ripped up carpeting made me hesitant to travel anywhere but the room to the exit. The parking lot is so bad, I worried about getting a flat tire driving in and out. On a positive note, I stayed here for three nights and you could tell they are agressively remodeling. They have alot of work to do but have to the potential to become a decent hotel once again.
