Don't Trust All the Positive Reviews
Room has not been updated probably within the last decade. Mattress was most likely old or of low quality because it was out of shape. Bedside lamp was broken. Manager said he would get another lamp and I would also be compensated. They never brought in another lamp. Carpet was coming up and was a hazard on the outside balcony walkway! They failed to contact me after I sent them emails through Hotels.com and to their web site asking them about compensation they promised.I figured they would contact me because, before my trip they had no problem contacting me when i needed questions asked.Don't trust all the positive reviews about this place. This hotel is not worth it even though it might be cheaper than other hotels in the area.

Though the reception clerk was nice and helpful, the property is dated. The toilet ran constantly. The heater wouldn’t work as it should because the filter needed changing. The unit had a very strong smell of Clorox that meant we had to air the room out before we could tolerate being in there.

The fireplace was supposedly not working because of gas in another room, so was told it was turned off. However our room’s fireplace had the pilot light going and at 6 am the flames came on and then went off! The room smelled like gas. The staff had to come turn the pilot light and gas off for the fireplace! I had a headache that morning from the gas being on in the room. I was very disappointed with the room and staff!
