“Great service, reasonable rates, great hotel layout, but had a mildew smell in bathroom”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

The hotel layout is awesome! It would be great for a wedding party. The pool and jaccuzi were inviting and the poolside bar had a great dinner menu. The rooms were large and very reasonably priced. Although the room was clean the bathroom had a distinct mildew smell. They need to launder their shower curtains more frequently. The complimentary breakfast... More

“Clean, friendly and professional.”

Reviewed 27 April 2013 via mobile

Free hot breakfast at a full service property? Great. Entire property was spotless. The staff were all incredibly helpful, knowledgable and friendly. Elevator would have been nice, but I needed the exercise. 5 stars!

“Worst Hotel in 58 Years, and I'm only 58!”

Reviewed 19 April 2013 via mobile

We left! The place is awful! No elevator, we didn't need one. Got to our room, smelled like chlorine. The "fireplace" was an electric log with five red lights that "glowed". Also, sagging bed and filthy carpet! Next, no phone in the room to complain. Front desk staff didn't seem surprised we were leaving, and not even apologetic!. Probably happens... More

Hello Sir, I am sorry to hear your impression of our Hotel. Missing amenities, and a poor presentation of the room does not meet our standards nor your expectations. It seems that the room was not ready to be checked in, which is a failure on our part. we should have liked to have offered you another room in this... More

“Dated and dirty”

Reviewed 17 January 2013

Stayed for two nights because I was in town for a short business trip. Unfortunately I found this hotel to be very dated and not quite squeaky clean. The staff was pleasant however. The room was very dated, think 1980s (i.e., dark wood paneling, mustard/maroon colors for drapes/carpet, glass/gold lamps). Now a dated room is not the end of the... More

“Decent overnight stay”

Reviewed 2 January 2013 via mobile

Our stay was fine, the rooms were clean and comfortable. Price was reasonable, and the kids really liked the pool. It was fine for a one night stop over. The weather was really bad so having a restaurant on site made it nice not having to go out in the bad weather again.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review about your stay. One of advantages we have is the pool area because it's large enough for family and friends to gather while the childern swim. We hope you stay with us again when you are in the area! More
