The property is fine, but a little run down. It did feel safe and was clean. The internet and TV leave something to be desired, but we were only there for the night so it wasn't too bad. Also, the breakfast is lacking, but it gets the job done if you are starving.

As of August of 2025, this property is NOT recommended. The pool water was ice-cold, the hot tub lukewarm. The entire property was dirty and run-down. Our bathroom was clean enough, and the sheets were clean. The staff were friendly and were doing their best. But this is a colossal property that has been neglected for years. It's under new ownership, but it's going to take years to reach the standards you'd expect from a hotel.
This is just one representation of a surface in the hotel that looks as if it hasn't been cleaned in weeks.
Besides this there was clear tape keeping wallpaper together all around the hotel.
All of the corners of the room looked like this.
This is what the entirety of our room borders looked like.
