When I checked in, I was not told how to access Wifi. When I called to obtain thsi information, the individual spoke so quickly I could not understand him and never was able to access it.

I selected this hotel specifically because they had a pool. I was traveling with a 3 year old.
The front desk attendant said the pool opened for the season the next day.
When I later tried to get a refund through hotels.com, I was told that the pool was open despite the front desk attendant telling me it was closed.
They contacted the hotel who confirmed it was open. So someone is lying.

The hotel for what it charges is pretty old and run down. It isn't terrible but it isn't great either. There is a musty smell in the hallways that also carries into the rooms.

We enjoyed our stay and the bed was very comfortable. We would have Beni from hooks in the bathroom and a trash can. Also the coffe was not good. Maybe a keurig would help.

Beds are comfortable, everything else is pretty lame. Not much in the way of food/drink. Decor is tired and hallways are dormitory like.

Came in town for a tournament. The last day the elevators decided not to work properly. Pandemonium on steroids! The staff member had the nerve to get frustrated. Imagine how we all felt?! Smh
