The facility could use some updates in bathroom caulking and the grout on the tile floor. A pillowcase had a stain. Toiletries offered were low quality. Laminate floors had debris. One outlet didn't work- we both use cpaps so working outlets are vital. A place to charge phones would be a nice enhancement. Very noisy guests coukd be heard from the pool and theough walls. Kids were running in the halls. We would stay again as it was relatively clean. Bed was comfortable and pillows didn't have an odor. TV options were good.

Even though the hotel is older, they are currently working in remodeling. Our room appeared to be recently remodeled and was nice. Beds were comfortable. There was a sign near the more that letnyou know about the remodel and that they will be replacing the carpets soon and remodeling the pool as well. We were very happy with the ppol though. This was the first hotel that we have been to in years that the indoor pool was actually warm enough to swim in. Not to mention it has a deep end and a small slide at the shallow end for little kids to slide into the pool. The breakfast was good as well, just wish they would add potatoes as a option with the eggs and sausage for people that don't eat sausage.

The hotel is definitely older, but they are making renovations. The breakfast is "okay". The area to eat in was not well lit. The carpet throughout the building was quite worn.

We paid $50 for an early check in and the rooms were not ready when we arrived. We had to wait until two rooms were cleaned and then were not able to have the rooms next to each other, however they did get us on the same floor. The ceiling in the rooms look like they’ve had damage and do not look safe. The bathroom door would not close because it was so warped, the caulking around the tub was cracked and did not look clean. The hotel is very old and worn down. Definitely not worth $450/night
