Our floor was recently remodeled, but I am not sure whether they were aware of a possible roof leak in room 304, at the east wall, right corner of the room. It looks like it has made the wallpaper run, and when you see things like that, you do worry about potential mold. I would stay again; the price was reasonable. I have a feeling we only got this price because of renovations, but I hope they try to stay somewhat close to that price. Waffles make or something blew the fusses in the food area, and they would prefer frozen chopped potatoes instead of saggy hash brown patties. The staff were very friendly

For the price of the room, I expected better quality in the hotel, and more attention to detailed. A lightbulb was burnt out in the light fixture above the vanity sink, wifi was not working, breakfast area was extremely hot, not temperature controlled, cranberry juice was extremely watered down...tasted like plain old water.

We booked this hotel because we had spent many hours on the road and needed the hot tub for my husbands back. We arrived and was told that the hot tub and hotel was in the stages of repair and the hot tub wasn't available.

You can tell that it is an older building that is being upgraded. If I hadn't had a dog with me, I would have been upset by the stained carpets, but as I did have a dog, it mattered less. Everything looked clean and did not have any bad smells. They could really improve by adding a dog area instead of rocks everywhere for dogs to eliminate. The bed was nice if a bit hard. The sheets felt like they were high quality. The AC in my room didn't work very well. It stayed overly warm even when set to 63 degrees.

Ok stay

We had to change rooms 3 times. First time the toilet was leaking all over the floor and down to the level below us. Then the room they moved us to was dirty with a dirty unflushed toilet and slept in bed. Finally our last room was good. We had driven in from el paso with our 2 little kids so we were exhausted from unpacking and packing back up between rooms. But don't desk Phillip was amazing and so very sweet, he did his absolute best.

The staff was very nice and always had ice water with fresh citrus in the lobby. These were the only good things about this property. The driveway to pull out to the main road had extremely limited visibility of oncoming traffic. There were renovation boxes stacked in front of the lobby door and we did not know that the property was undergoing renovations when we booked. Our room was visited by cockroaches twice and the toilet was recessed into the drywall which was NOT finished around it so that's probably how they got in. The light fixture in the sitting area started flickering on the last day we were there which seemed appropriate. The "gym" had several pieces of equipment that were very unstable and one that just didn't seem to work. The pool was too warm but we didn't go in because we had doubts about the cleanliness based on everything else we saw. In general this property is extremely rundown and is overdue for renovation. It was price competitive but we have no plans to return.

It was a good stay great staff it has a bit of a smell but it may be due to being an older building. The only issue I have is I received a call day of to be told we were overbooked so our 2 bed stay became 1.
