Our hotel room was perfect and welcoming touch as we arrived in +36°C weather on our motorcycle. It was a quick check-in, very nice renovated room with air already on for us. All services required were in walking distance, which was nice. Nice sitting area outside in the shade as well. We will definitely return to this hotel.

The lady at the front desk Sherrill has worked there forever and it shows. She could use some customer service training. She stopped right in the middle of serving me to serve another customer. Even he looked at me and said wow I’m sorry. That’s strange. The area where the pool is was unbearably hot. Many guests were complaining. I went to ask if they could turn off the heat but I was told that’s just how it is. Absolutely no resolution at all. It’s from air conditioning units but they need to stop making excuses and fix it. Continental breakfast was never offered to us. We found out about it after we left. Not a terrible place to stay but it’s most definitely gone way downhill over the years. Update the place. And the staff.

This hotel met my needs for my overnight stay. This is an older hotel and it shows in places BUT overall there are many signs of care and thoughtful renovations. My bed was comfortable with fresh white linens and quality pillows. The bathroom was completely renovated making it a very useable space complete with places to keep your items. It would be very comfortable for a longer stay. There are several businesses and fast food within a short walking distance. I had no misgivings about the area. I will stay again in the future.

Room was very dark and dingy. Did not feel very safe facing back of hotel property on ground level. Requested a different room. Air conditioner did not work properly in new room. Very loud fan and did not blow cold therefore loud and stuffy all night. Had to keep it on to get some air movement as there were no windows to open.
