At check-in the first room they gave was occupied. Returning to front desk they were unsure to give me a room different than my reservation and hard time figuring out which room was clean. They apologized multiple times. A staff member helped me move my things into room otherwise it do it yourself and no elevator. Shower limited water heat, at max capacity it was warm, not hot. It off major road so interior room avoided the noise.

Visible signage to entrance not seen, parking for entrance was non-existent. The staff were friendly, but gave me poor walking directions. I use a cane due to my lower back pain and knees that are in the process of being replaced. The hotel looked like it was under construction. They told us we could walk to our room from the front desk. My husband drove and I tried to walk with my cane and had turn around go to the front so my husband could drive me to it. There was no pool even though the online advertisement stated there was one. We chose this hotel because it had a pool. Wrong decision. Negative issues: Bathroom~ Bathtub needs replaced as it looked dirty, but actually was stained. Two ceiling panels had stains that made it appear a pipe had leaked and has mold. Door paint is peeling Door handle needs to be tightened as it felt like it was about to fall off, Air conditioner fan was making a ticking sound all night while we tried to sleep and we left the television on to drown out the noise. Need more pillows Not enough outlets as I had to unplug lamps so I could plug in my hearing aids to get charged, phone, & watch. However, most hotels don't so I really can't count that as a negative Positive: Easy to access the road we needed to get on to get to my family's home we were visiting. Beds were very comfortable,
