Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
My checkin was at 3 but my room was not ready and was told twice to wait another 15-20 minutes. Then when we finally chose to downgrade the room because it still wasn’t ready, the room we got wasn’t that clean. The bathroom floor was dirty and the bathroom itself was dirty. The rooms need an upgrade and better cleaning/staff for what they charge. I give this place a 1.5 star.

Vacation time
Had a very nice stay. Room was really clean. Shower needed some wall repairs. A little noisy because the window was facing a busy street. Breakfast was very good, but some potatoes would have been great!

Bait and switch!
Hotels.com is a rip off. They charged me 4.50 for room insurance then doubled the charge when I left. BAIT and SWITCH ! Money grabbers, for certain.
