The property is in a great location. Unfortunately, the hotel is outdated and in much need of improvement.The carpets are sticky, the halways are dark and discolored and the bathroom offered no countertop area to put items on. THe hotel staff had great customer service skills.

Hi Barrymore I have been a guest here two 3X a year and have watched you evolve I like your hotel I like the staff I like the convenience of your location and your shuttle service but you lack a few things that I have overlooked like a convenient quick grab and go breakfast bar and the rooms are ergonomically not quite right replace square table with a round table put a mirror above it to use for make up while the other person is using the shower or bathroom Need two chairs not one Also you need outlets since we have lots more gadgets to power up and your new bathroom renovation really lacks counter space and a place to hang towels the tiny shelf in the shower is so inadequate Your restaurant bar really does not have that many healthy choices But I praise you for trying continuously to improve this property keep going you will get there and I will continue to be a guest since I believe in supporting and rewarding good effort.

The carpet needs to be steam cleaned; our feet were dirty on the bottoms. No refrigerator in room, leaking rain water in room, alarm went off at 12AM. The bathroom sink needs to be updated. Your rooms were very cheaply done. For the prices.
