The "night manager" at the front desk was rude, rude, rude. NO customer service whatsoever. First off I asked for a non-smoking room and because they wanted to hold all the nicer rooms for last minute check-in guest, the manager put us in a smoking room. I'm highly allergic to the smoke and told her this. The manager laughed in... More

You are welcomed with fresh coffee 24/7. That set a nice tone to describe the place... A perfect 2-star. Very clean. Nice room with microwave and fridge. Breakfast was exactly what one would expect from a 2-star...cereal, toast, juice, coffee, fresh fruit and biscuits/gravy. Indoor pool and hot tub. Beds were nice, shower was good, heat was good...didn't turn on... More

The staff was friendly, the room was clean enough, and breakfast was............well it just was. Very sparse, and uninteresting. The first room they gave us had no hot water. They moved us, and the next room had plenty of hot water. Unfortunately, the sink aerator sprayed water all over the place, and the shower drain had to be "modified" to... More

They say you get what you pay for, and in this case I am not even sure I got that! Of the 3 nights we stayed, not one of my family managed to sleep throughout the night, but the last night was by far the worst. The social gathering in the next room eventually dispersed in the early hours of... More

We and my brother-in-laws family stayed there for a night on 1'st January. Considering this, we got an interconnected room. The rooms are very spacious family rooms and the kids ha great fun. The bathroom and the serice area were great. It had a complimentary BF which was just basic..could've been improved. Missed the New Year charm at the place... More

Stayed here one night while on a trip from north to south. Exterior looks fine, but the rooms are not fine. Furnished with 80s oak furniture. Stains on upholstery. Aging brass fixtures with touches of rust and dust on top. Scuffs on painted walls. Double beds with cheap mattresses and sheets. Old tv, poor picture. Sad, "generic food" breakfast. Orange... More
