Reviews and Ratings
Upon arrival, I had to endure a room that was 90° and dripping sweat for over 30 minutes before it started to cool, which wasn't pleasant. Despite that, the rooms were actually very clean, and I had no objections to them.
The hotel had some major cleanliness issues in the rooms with dirty sheets and a smelly environment, but it managed to keep me cool on a very hot day. The manager's response to the situation was not ideal and the leftovers from the previous guests were off-putting.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was appealing, being close to the highway, but other aspects fell short. The rooms were a blend of modern updates and dated fixtures, with cleanliness concerns like dirty sheets and a lingering odor. The service was disappointing, with rude and dismissive staff encounters. The dining options were subpar, and the lack of cleanliness in the facilities was noticeable. However, the price was reasonable for what was offered.
