The hotel was a bit like a time warp from the 80's, which was just fine for me haha. Breakfast was just okay, but good enough. The only issue I really had was with the fitness center (which I get the feeling doesn't get used much). It needed towels, something to clean the equipment with, and a yoga or stretching mat (I had to use the floor). Other than that, the staff were so helpful and just lovely.

The place is close to a lot of restaurants. We did not use the pool but we did check it out and it looked very nice. We did eat in the bar and it was great. The only thing is the beds. If you like very firm beds you’ll love their beds. It’s a little out dated but over all it was nice.

Beautiful lobby, great bar/restaurant. There was a gem show when I was there, so parking was tough. And the sliding doors to the balcony in my room had smudges all over them, guessing from kids. And surprised the tile surround in the shower was old and missing some grout. Otherwise, it was a great stay!

In the app, it was rated with 4 1/2 stars. It is more like 2 1/2 stars. It was not very clean. It didn’t feel safe walking through the halls to try to find your room because there is no elevator where our room is the elevator is on the other side of the hotel Was dark and musty as I walked through. You can expect some noise when you’re in a hotel but these rooms are paper thin. We could hardly sleep with the people talking and laughing until 2 AM and then they turned on the TV and it did not go off until 7 AM or so and it was very loud, we could hear everything they were saying while they were talking. The beds were hard, felt like there was paper and plastic underneath of you.

The room was very nice and it was quiet. The biggest disappointment was the advertisement of a pool and hot tub, which is why I chose this property over others. Turns out the hot tub has been eliminated. If you're looking forward to soaking sore joints, stay elsewhere.
