Avoid!
The place was a total dump. The lobby smelled like smoke. There was no one in the front desk to check me in. The room was disgusting... hair in the drain and on the floor. The back of the door had dried glue stuck on it. The right knob of every drawer and door was missing. The pool and spa were out of order and even if they were available were absolutely filthy. Definitely not the Comfort Inn it used to be.

It was a really nice hotel especially for the price of the area! It was well made and kept and close to a lot of places to shop or eat. Only con was the water from the showers had one setting: HOT!! It burned me and was pretty much unusable.

I was traveling in for an afternoon event and called days in advance to see if early check in was possible so I could dress in the room. Over the phone I was told it wouldn’t be an issue, and while they couldn’t guarantee in advance, that they would make a note in my reservation and if something came up, there would at least be a space on the property where I could dress and drop my bags. When I arrived and asked politely about early check in, I was treated so rudely by the front desk staff. It was frankly the rudest I’ve ever been treated by a hospitality staffer. I was not allowed to finish a sentence, and was told under no condition could I check in, get dressed, or even drop my bag. I don’t mind not being able to accommodate a request, that is merely inconvenient, but the rudeness with which I was treated was completely unacceptable.

We booked thru Hotels.com. When we arrived we were told of a $150 hotel hold fee for damages.. NO WHERE ON HOTELS.com. Does it indicate this.. threw our budget out the window.. also the HOTTUB was not functioning and had not for months… that was not listed either. hotel staff not professional. sweat shirts and eating at front desk. It was like an upgraded Motel 6… they can leave the light off… NEVER BE BACK

It’s a no for me
Stayed because it was closer to my daughter place. There was a little banging here there, but went away. Nobody bothered us. But the room had a smell to it. The bed underneath the comforter was still dirty. Good thing we bought our own blankets and pillows. Lady at the front counter wasn’t rude, but wasn’t really Show hospitality. Well, I stay here again no, not at all. There was some stains on the wall as well. There was a hole from opening the door, but they had it covered with black tape. There was no extra lock for the door. The cooler look like it was gonna come off the wall. There was a bad odor we didn’t know where it was coming from. Needs to be updated for sure on everything.
Stains on the walls
Lamp covers were all messed up.
AC wall unit look like it was gonna fall off.
