The hotel has potential but its transition to new administration proved to be a problem for us. I picked this hotel because of the airport shuttle and breakfast. It’s a lift service, but they did not communicate that. So I edited for an hour at the airport while trying to contact the hotel staff for clarification.The name change and the phone change confused everyone. I got stuck. So, communicate more the details in Expedia. The staff was very attentive. I do appreciate that!!but they said breakfast was 6 to 9 but there was no breakfast. I just left. Again, respectful staff caring are the reason I don’t give lowest rating

First they could not find our booking. Then the room they gave us had mold behind the bed and blood stains on the floor. The front desk moved us immediately To a different room that had roaches. The only good thing i can say about the stay is that the front seat lady was nice.

Pool is an indoor/ outdoor pool , not separate. Not able to use bc of cold from outdoor part. Noise from highway. Heat/air clanking when trying to come up. Room never got cool. Carpet stained room. Fake eyelash found in towel. Breakfast ran out early everyday, didn't even get to see everything offered 1 hour before breakfast end time. Coffee/ tea not offered all day but stated on site that it will be in common areas. Bad smells in areas. Only offers 1 face towel and 1 washcloth for 3 guests. Always missing a towel as well.

Unbelieveably bad! New owners are taking a lovely facility and an amazing staff and are doing their best to make sure they have no return guests! Elevator not working upon departure and had to carry my luggage down 3 flights of stairs. No time of repair indicated! No soap in the shower soap containers. No bedspread! Waffle iron timer broken for first 2 days of my stay. Entrance automatic door got stuck and locked me out. I knocked hard on the door and other guests inside found the switch and activated it to make the door open! Guest snack for purchase shelves had been cleaned out by previous owners and not restocked! In spite of the lack of normal guest products and state of decline, I saw no bugs, so the staff is working very hard to do what they can. The staff is lovely. I hope they all find new jobs!!!! I feel for them.
