window shades of cheap quality, and lack of seal allowing light to freely pass through at night, Especially the parking lot lights. Thin walls Room fixtures laughable. Tiny toilet in first room, unsecured shower head in second room, no hangers in either room, hangers brought to room, on request, had hanger hooks too small for rod diameter.3 day stay and no room service.
Evidently over 1 year under remodeling. poor plan, construction & paint application,
Staff was the only positive. I was embarrassed for the.
Won't be back, won't recommend.

Stains on the pillow cover. Stains all over the floor. Toilet was running when we walked in and when I flushed the toilet the smell got worse. Moved us to another room and the ac wouldn’t work and the room was still dirty.

College graduation stay
Stay was overall good. We stayed for my son’s college graduation, only one elevator was working, pool was freezing, hot tub was not hot and jets did not work. My parents asked for a king room and they got two queens. And their air conditioner was not working.

Parking lot was very run down, lots of cracks no lines for parking. Walkways were dirty and unkempt. The drop off area was cordoned off because somebody apparently crashed into the roof of the overpass. No flowers or landscaping just what felt like old construction debris. The common areas are very rundown carpet needs to be replaced walls need to be painted. Inside the room, the furniture is old and scratched but the bed was good. Just felt very rundown more like a motel. for the price I was surprised, I thought I’d get a little bit more. Went down for breakfast at about 745am and most of the food was out of stock already. I guess there was a big golfing group that came the same weekend. They did have a good variety, but the sausage was barely cooked. Oatmeal had run out. Just average and if we come back to the area I would look for some where else to stay.

That it was a larger lobby and breakfast area than normal, probably because it originally was a Holiday Inn. Friendly personnel.
Didn't like that yhe restaurant was gone, didn't like the low toilets, didn't like that there were no instructions regarding the tv or working the remote. We couldn't get it to change channels-- so no tv.
