I was very upset when staying here, because they used outdated pictures of their pool area. The slide worked, but the jacuzzi was not working and all of the fun things they have pictured in the baby pool had been ripped out. They really need to update their pool pictures. Also, my room was clean, but very poorly lit. There were two lamps - no overhead light, and the lamps were small. It's not horrible, but I took major points off for the misleading pool pics.

Pictures on their website are outdated as the breakfast area no longer has a waffle maker or microwave. The workout area also was missing the recumbent peddle bike and the tv in the workout area. We also had the unfortunate luck of staying when the pool area was closed.

All was improved since our last stay. The only really bad thing was a sewer smell in our room. The low cost was the reason we stayed as we were just passing through.

Overall it wasn't a bad hotel for the money. The front desk could have looked a little more professional. The ice machine was broken, and the bed was hard. The room looks like it was redone and did look nice. The bathroom wasn't fully rehabbed yet and had some dirty, rusty vents. The breakfast was a standard continental with waffle maker which was good. Some of the guests were a bit strange....not wearing any shoes to breakfast, etc. For the money, I can't complain too much. It's rare to find a hotel under $60 for two people.
