A Nightmare Stay: Avoid This Hotel
I booked this hotel for its proximity to a wedding, but it turned out to be a nightmare. The receptionist at check-in was polite but dismissive when we requested a quieter room, saying they could’ve accommodated us better if we had called directly instead of booking online. The room 218 was horrific: Bedbugs. My husband and I were completely bitten and could barely sleep. Plumbing disasters. The bathtub didn’t drain, and the toilet flooded the bathroom floor after flushing. When I reported this at checkout, the receptionist was shocked but offered nothing but a breakfast coupon—completely inadequate for such a terrible stay. This was, without a doubt, the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had.

6/10 Good

Property isn't ADA compliant. The guest rooms are upstairs and there's no elevator or ramps, so I my 79-year old mom had to go up and down the stairs with difficulty. At least she's still able to walk. If she had been on a wheelchair, there was no way we could've stayed. The roof had multiple leaks whenever it rained so there were puddles of water covered by towels. Being that the floor was tiled, if a new puddle formed and you didn't see it, you could slip and fall. This happened both in the common areas upstairs and inside the room. I advised the front desk about the room leak and they said they'd look into it but didn't do anything. Lastly, the staff holiday party happened during our stay and the music was so loud that the floor was vibrating. This wen't on until 1AM and although I spoke to the front desk about it in four separate times, they refused to lower the volume of the music. I asked to speak to someone higher up and was told that there were no managers on site. We weren't asking for the party to end, only to have the music lowered so that the guests (you know, the people who keep them in business) could sleep. The next day they offered us a voucher for free breakfast which we refused because we needed sleep, not free food. The only good thing about the place is that it's very clean. The building and furniture are old and definitely need updating but you could eat off the floor... unless there was a water puddle.

Major disappointment
I'm not sure who rated this 3 star but 2 start would be a generous rating. Checked in to one there "villas" and was blown away by how outdated the place was. Traffic noise was so loud I checked for open windows. Ended up going in to see if there were any other options available. The amazing staff did there best to help and moved us into the hotel were the room had some lights, furniture less than 40 yrs old and didn't sound like you were at the bus stop. If not for the staff being so friendly and helpful this would be a one star rating.

The laundry dryer machine was not working properly, first it got stuck with the money, when we finally make it work it made a really loud noise and it was shaking at the end the clothes were still wet. I suggest you to replace the washer and dryer machine it’s too old. Overall the rest of the staying was really pleasant
