2/10 Poor

The air conditioning system was down for the entire property, and we weren't notified until we got to the front desk at dinner time. There wasn't time to find a better hotel.
Kevin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good to Very Good

Front desk service was extremely good room was above average. The hotel seems to be under construction as the hallways need refurbished dramatically overall, it was worth the money spent.
Mark, 3-night trip

Thank you

This hotel was just fine. Super friendly front desk. Bed was clean and really comfortable, sink, toilet, shower not so much. However, I'd stay again for the price we paid.

The room was way better than the lobby and hallways led us to believe, but it was still a million degrees in there. Bed was comfortable.

The pool and hot tub was a nice amenity. It's great having coffee available in the morning. Free parking is a plus.

Dead lion Inn

This hotel is very run down. A/c broken was not advised at check in. We checked right out. They use this hotel to shelter the homeless and it is in horrendous conditions. Smells, duct tape carpet…you get the idea.
