Cool pool/nice room/decent gym/breakfast so-so

Glows: -Nice room, spacious, with fridge and microwave. Comfy bed. Cool little couch. -Good Service at front desk -neat pool -decent workout room -on Sunday the breakfast was great -well maintained -ice machine on every floor and they all work -plenty of parking -great location -housekeeping was excellent Grows: -they filled in the hot tub with concrete... that sucked! -There is lots of unused space in the exercise room that could accommodate a cable machine -some freeweights were missing in the exercise room -Saturday breakfast only had one older lady working and stations, such as oatmeal and fruit, were closed. She could not keep up with restocking what was open. Should never be a single employee, especially not an elderly woman, trying to manage a hotel breakfast buffet. Not up to Holiday Inn standards. -Need USB charging ports in rooms.

Nice Hotel - Crime area

The hotel itself was very nice - check in was easy and staff was friendly. I wish we had been worned about all the car break-ins. There were 6 cars that were broken into the first night we stayed (all windows were busted out) - my husband's gun was stolen. If we had known there were issues, he never would have left it in the car. No police showed up and they wouldn't refund our room (we didn't feel safe staying another night but already had to replace a broken car window)

Great hotel

Great! The pool is awesome and actually warm. The room had some wear to a lot of things. Could deff use some fixing. But overall great room. The hotel doesnt smell like fragrance strong which is awesome. We hate fragrance its terrible for you. This hotel is super strict on wrist brand for the pool. We are a family of 6. 2 small toddlers.We got the 2 queen room. They techinally only wanted to give 4 wrist bands for our room. I think the level of strictness on this is a little off putting. They didnt give us an issue about it but the level they go to with it is annoying. We wouldnt get 2 rooms for pur family so if they did enforce it, it would leave our family in a pickle.

Not My Favorite Place

We had a lot of issues at this place. Check in went smooth but we were not aware of why there was a $100 deposit required for the room over and above the room rate. Turns out that it is a damage deposit. It was refunded after a few days. A lot of the customers were very loud and disrespectful of the quiet times posted throughout the hotel. Several times we called the main desk when we became adamant that the quiet times be enforced. My wife even went downstairs to discuss the issue with the main desk. While the rules were ultimately enforced we were made to feel like it was our fault the hotel was so noisy or that we were not 'understanding' enough. Another time in the middle of the night when I was awakened I had to approach the room of another group of customers and ask them to quiet down. They did not so I called the main desk on them also. All in all a very unpleasant experience. Never did sleep well that night. We woke ready to go and plan on not returning to this particular location.

The website said they have a hot tub, they do not. The pool was freezing. We brought it to the night manager's attention, he said it was exactly where it was supposed to be. If your looking for relaxing in a pool or hot tub, go somewhere else.

No hot tub :(

The information about this hotel said there was a pool and hot tub. The hotel has gotten rid of the hot tub and they are pretty strict about their pool usage. You have to sign a waiver. The rooms were very large and spacious but they kind of smelled funny and definitely gave off the vibe that this is a super old hotel with a super cheap makeover.

TOO NOISY

There happened to be a family that checked in that had many kids and they were running up and down the halls and jumping on beds above us. I thought it was a bit pricey compared to other hotels. was nice for a one night stay.
