Room was not at all what we expected. Looked like something out of the 80's, No coffee pot, microwave out in hallway, bed hard and pillows very flat. Hole in ceiling above commode. Elevator slow and out of order one day - two elevators but only one working. Outside stairwell very dirty. Went there for an anniversary weekend and was... More

This hotel was a nightmare! The lobby,hallways, and rooms smelled so very dingy. The elevators did not work. The stairs were full of trash and smelled of urine. We had to ask for clean towels. The bedsheets were stained. Tried going the economic route and got even less than what we paid for. Maybe a good stay for college spring... More

This hotel just has too many problems. For example, the elevators always get stuck, and when you need to talk to a manager there is never one available. If you ever stay make sure the price is right because you get what you pay for. The deluxe continental they advertise all it consist of is coffee and cheap sugar donuts.... More

DO NOT stay here. We stayed here for a wedding and it was not a good experience. The elevators would stop and trap people in them or when you got in them they would not stop and let you off. You could not trust them and when we complained they still did shut them down and let other people get... More

We stayed 2 nights in this hotel at premium prices, the rooms left a lot to be desired for the prices. In-room coffee maker worked one time. Elevator stuck several times and they would not even put a sign on it, elevator inspection was way overdue. The fire extinguishers were out of date. No signs at pool cautioning there was... More

The hotel was wonderful! Clean rooms with balconies overlooking the pool and bay. There was a bar by the pool with music keeping the place lively all day long. There was also a fun night club on the fourth floor. The staff was not extremely helpful and there seemed to be a large amount of hidden fees but it was... More
