I stay at this property approximately once a month for the last year. It’s convenient to my local area business/personal requirements. Overall, I like the property especially the pool/Jacuzzi and the omelette bar for breakfast. The room however, is just OK. I stay usually in one of the King suites which gives me a little more space. The bed is fine, but the furniture needs to be changed out. Additionally, the bathroom area and shower needs to be modernized. The overall hotel requires some modernization. The hotel gets the basics right and has great potential, but it needs to be updated.

I was in town for my best friend's funeral. I chose this hotel specifically for the Website stating you had 24 hour service to the airport. At check in I reminded the clerk of that and he replied that I had to 'call 24 hours in advance'. When I made my reservation there was a 'special instruction' area where I stated I needed a transport to the airport. The clerk said that no one 'see's' that until the reservation is opened on check-in. I was without a car and over 50 miles from anyone I knew. I was extremely upset. I did get a call from the clerk stating he did find someone to transport me to the airport at 4 AM the next morning. Why would your site say 24 hour transport if that is NOT true? I was already upset. The room was disgusting. The floors in the bath area, inside the microwave, the toilet....I do have photos. There was no receipt under my door before I left so I am unsure what I actually paid. I have worked in housekeeping years ago but never have I seen such filth. I cleaned what I could with disinfectant wipes. So, you do NOT have 24 hour service to the airport and the room was really dirty. Fix your website. If you want/need photos, I have them. Room 109.

This property is old and needs updating. Furniture and facility are very worn. Walls are thin. The breakfast included was bad. The food is unhealthy, although it was completely depleted by 9am. So much for "breakfast included" if you're not an early bird.
