The room was very nice and clean. Breakfast was very creative and pretty good. Staff was great. I have to say the environment was strange. They are running a re-homing step up situation for many people which I applaud but made for an uninviting atmoshere. There is a security guard outside at night with many people hanging around the parking lot and the grounds. I didn't feel as comfortable as I would have liked coming in after dark. I feel like this is something that should be mentioned from the start.

Not The Hilton, But a Good Hotel

The first room they assigned us to was musty and damp smelling. I asked for a room change and they accommodated us right away. Front desk associates were pleasant. Had to ask for more towels every day as there were four of us staying and they only gave us two towels. Everyone on site was very friendly and anything we requested we were given immediately. They have a great breakfast selection and everyone serving in the breakfast area was very friendly. Overall, it was a good stay. I wouldn’t rate it 5 stars, but we would stay there again.

Afteter i got there i realized this was a hotle i stay in a couple of time before. I was 18 and am now 63 so that tells you the age of the hotel.
There is a new addition on the front half so i would request that part and ask for the street side because if you dont you will hear the tractor trailers on the highway directly behind the in.
Also as soon as we walked into the room it smelled musty and you could tell it used to be a smoking room.

I started in a room with a loud party across the hall and a dysfunctional key card. Moved to a room with no TV. Then put in a room where the AC was blasting warm air. Couldn't be fixed and no fan available. Finally moved to room that became available because \"they were just here for a quickie\", according to the manager. Once they changed the bedding and I got the \"ick\" factor suppressed, it was a good bed, AC, TV. All bathrooms were in poor condition and had exposed fixtures. Security guard sat on his rear looking at his phone each of 5 times I passed him. One elevator, a few hundred rooms (5 floors), no staff elevator, pool closed for season, only ice/vending on ground floor, \"hot buffet breakfast\" was a paper bag to go. I understand covid, but geez. Make at least a token attempt to make sure on-line travel bookingsites have correct information. I would not stay here again if you paid me to do so.

This was the most horrid hotel I have ever stayed at. My first clue should have been the smoke detector hanging from the ceiling with the wire cut. Apparently they are running a homeless drug addict program from their hotel ok they bottom two floors. They have security guards on each floor except 3 rd. Lots of drug activity and violence in the parking lot. Drunks yelling and another followed me on two the elevator and made me feel extremely unsafe. I have never felt so scared and unsafe in my life and I have stayed all over the United States. I did manage to leave and was then charged twice. If you have ever watched the thriller video it came to life for us this night the freaks really do come out at midnight. Please do not stay here. Please do not bring children here.

The hotel in the rooms were very clean. The pool was not open, despite other pools in the area being open. They provided no place for you to sit down and have breakfast, despite the fact that they had more than adequate room and tables to allow for social distancing. The day manager needs to find a new line of work. He still at the end of the hall for four days and yelled from a distance of 10 yards at us every time we walked out of our roomIf we did not have our mask on our face even as we were putting it on. In my opinion it’s never OK for manager to yell at their guests from down the hallway. He was very unaccommodating and mean. I would never come back to this hotel for that reason.

Had a very nice stay. Service at the desk was very helpful and friendly.

Decent complimentary breakfast....however, I did not notice anyone replenishing items as they were being eaten by guests. I was there 1 1/2 hours before the closing time, and they were out of waffle batter.
On the whole, I would still stay there again.
