Aside from the remodeling, workers and their girlfriends staying at the hotel, the scent of pot, overall the cleanliness was top notch and the staff was very friendly. Once the renovations are done, this will be a great place to stay.

The remodel and upgrades were very nice!! The shower was amazing. There were strong smells of weed in certain areas/rooms. But thankful it was not near or around our room.
Overall, I was very please with the room for the price. We stayed here a few years ago, and it was not this nice, so it was a pleasant surprise.

The lobby was being renovated when we arrived, and the check-in was in a room on the main floor (a little bit odd), but once we got to our room, it was fine, fully renovated, clean sheets, and the best thing in the room was the shower. It had a great water pressure! I enjoyed my showers. I guess once the lobby is renovated, everything will look more in place.

It wasnt necessarily a bad stay. It was better than I thought it would be. The lady at check in was very kind. We had a safe quiet stay. The place just had so much trash all around the grounds. When we checked in there was trash from the previous renter outside our door and there it stayed even when we left. They need someone to clean the grounds.

There was a long line at the front desk to check in. The poor woman was very nice and apologized. Management needs more staff! The elevator was gross, filthy, like a stable. No fridge in the room. No breakfast. The shower and bed were good and the room seemed clean.
