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.

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.

All amenities are broke or gone.
The staff was great. None of this is their fault. Could not find a room with working AC. There was several parties checking in at the same time. 2 of us were in the lobby trying to get another room because of this and another was on the phone. We were giving a box fan. Hot tub was still closed At this point. I feel like it’s deceptive to advertise a hot tub and ac. I travel for work and I am in about 70 different hotels over 200 nights a year. Roughly. The point of this is I have never seen ACs this old in a room. The knobs were removed with no wires going into the units. But there was newer wall controls. How they controlled them I have no idea. None of the ones we tried controlled anything on the unit. Strict signage about were you can eat breakfast but it’s only stale pastries and coffee. Which is pretty normal breakfast. But most places offering that don’t care if you leave with it or go up to your room with it.

Liked the location but the room door lock was broken and tv didn't work. They moved us to a different room but air conditioner didn’t work. Reason we stayed there was for the hot tub but it was out of order
