The hotel was great. CeeCee at the front desk is so nice. Now for the rant that has nothing to do with the hotel: EXPEDIA - get your act together and pay these hotels so people can check in quicker! I booked this hotel an hour before I got there and it still took another 30 minutes before Expedia paid the hotel so I could check in!

Registration staff was excellent. Night staff was rude. Had a group of adults together playing cards and talking (not loud or excessive). Told at 10:00 on a Saturday night to go to bed. Everyone must leave the lobby and outside patio. No one was loud. We booked together to visit and rudely denied. Told them in advance.

Nice overall
Over all it was good. I only scored a 3 on condition because the entry light only flickered, the toilet kept running and the tub didnt have safety strips. A lot had been upgraded and looked nice. I reported the light and toilet.

Great people. Conditions of hotel not so great
They were friendly. I have stayed there before but it’s seems they have let the property go. The first room I was in the lights kept flickering and could not get hot water in the shower. And when I did report it to the gentleman at the front desk I was just met with a stare before he finally asked if I would like to switch rooms. Everyone else I encountered at the desk was very friendly and helpful. The people were great the room not so much.
