They were rebuilding the swimming pool while we were there. Very loud. But when it's finished I'm sure it will be fantastic.

Room clean but very basic. Pool unavailable due to construction, breakfast not served. Gas powered tile cutting saw operated at 7am twenty three feet from room doorway. Dirt all over parking area which was tracked into rooms. Clerk argued regarding amenties...told me it was on their website and take it up with Expedia for refund. I would like to be contacted by Expedia regarding refund. This hotel should not be listed until construction is completed

Place had construction going on for the pool and the workers were just on the site drinking until 8pm then the room next to us were partying until past midnight slamming doors and being extremely loud. Offered no compensation and the breakfast is just coffee, bananas and 2 different pastries. You have to pay for the water or juice.

We were first given room 117 and were moved to another room after I complained that there was mold in the bathroom ceiling. They are building a swimming pool at the entrance that blocks have the entrance so you cannot have one ar come in and another one exit at the same time (safety hazard). The so called breakfast leaves much ti be desired. A frozen bagel with egg and cheese that needed to be microwaved, banana, coffee and apple juice. No eggs, potatoes, waffles, orange juice, milk cereal, etc. Very, very poor. The rooms overall were clean but that is a merit to the girls who do the cleaning. The facility overall is not up to par.

The rooms were big and clean, but the property is dated and has limited outlets to plug things in. The beds were also very hard and the pillows very cheap. The continental breakfast was very simple consisting of one breakfast sandwich, bananas, water, coffee, and juice. The pool was also under construction, which was one of the main reasons we chose this place. Not worth the 250 a night we paid to stay there.

We picked up this room night at the last minute and got a fantastic price. Room was clean and spacious. Service was friendly enough Wi-Fi iffy and the breakfast was basically microwaved sandwiches but for the price it was clean and safe and convenient.

The hotel was under construction and the parking lot was hard to navigate. The check in was great, friendly staff. The room was good, just on the older side. Very quiet, the breakfast was minimal.

Look Elsewhere
First impressions say a lot, and it seemed like we were inconveniencing the man at the front desk. It didn't get much better from there. The parking lot is falling apart, and no speck of greenery can be found. Once we got in the room, we set my computers on the desk, only to find no outlets anywhere other than in the bathroom and on the nightstand between the beds. One bed didn't even have a fitted sheet, so you slept on top of the mattress pad. To make coffee or tea, there is a Keurig, which only one person can use at a time, causing a long line. When checking out, there was no one in sight, just a basket with a sign to leave your key in it. And the swimming pool is still under construction, with work starting right at 7:00 AM. Wood being thrown around, electric saws, truck blocking the driveway, you name it.

Positive - room had been updated and was nice. Large and well equipped. Room for improvement - exterior fairly run down. Looks like they’re putting money into building a small swimming pool - probably not money well spent. Poor - honestly, the worst “continental breakfast” I’ve ever seen. Two prepackaged food options - both gross - and a banana. Had to go offsite to get food for my family - this was not acceptable.
