The room was fine and to be expected, but it was a more older-looking, run down room property. It served the purpose for our stay but it could use a refresh. The breakfast was good.

The room was cleaned and housekeeping was great. Unfortunately the tv did not have cable and it took a while to get staff to provide another one . The second tv was cracked. Also the shower head water pressure was not high enough to shower and the toilet broke as well. Staff was slow on getting help but once the maintenance man was notified he fixed and replaced everything that was broken extremely quickly. New tv and new shower head and he fixed the toilet. So shout out to the maintenance guy on staff .

This hotel was okay, but not particularly memorable. The location was easy to find and the property was quiet, which I appreciated. Having EV chargers available was also a nice feature. Unfortunately, the hotel feels pretty worn down. The exterior looks dated, the paint throughout the room was cracked and chipped, the grass was overgrown, and there were greasy handprints on the headboard that should have been cleaned before check-in. The lobby still had poinsettias and a "Happy Holidays" sign up despite it being May, which added to the overall impression that the property isn't being maintained very closely. Nothing was terrible, but the condition and cleanliness made the stay feel less comfortable than expected. With some maintenance and better attention to detail, this could be a much better experience.

The air in the lobby and hallways was stale and smelled like cigarettes and marijuana, the carpeting in the lobby and hallways were stained, dirty and better complete replacement. It's looks and smells rundown. The room's condition was a pleasant surprise! Clean and very large! The front desk gentleman was not a welcoming person at all. Evren though we paid for the room through Expedia in advance, he demanded an additional $125 security deposit on our credit card before he would give us the room key. Why?

The bed was very comfortable and I enjoyed the breakfast. When we went to go swimming, the pool was too dirty for our comfort level to go swimming. There was a bunch of black stuff on the bottom. The room layout flowed well. The bathroom was spacious but the shower was very dirty. Our drain wouldn’t drain until I removed the hair clogging it. It wasn’t my hair, it was the first time we were showering there. Our stay was overall good/okay, it wasn’t terrible but it could have been cleaner.
