Could Use Some TLC
It was ok for a place to sleep and shower. The hot water ran out around 10am. Some horrible black gunk backed up into the sink while we slept. The heat lamp made a noise like an air raid siren. Housekeeping only left one washcloth and no hand towels. On the plus side the room was clean and the staff was nice.

2/10 Poor

Terrible condition
We had to move rooms multiple times. The first room assigned to us was not cleaned (dirty beds and everything). We got put in a different room with no working heather, so we slept in our clothes it was that cold. The next day we got moved again to a room that we found out the door does not lock and the heather worked but blowed only cold air so once again we were freezing. When asked to move rooms again we were told they were sold out and we couldn’t move. Also, when I tried to take a hot shower to warm up the bathroom tub had so much hair inside, so I couldn’t make myself shower in it. Overall terrible experience, we would never go back.

4/10 Fair

Avoid!
The place was a total dump. The lobby smelled like smoke. There was no one in the front desk to check me in. The room was disgusting... hair in the drain and on the floor. The back of the door had dried glue stuck on it. The right knob of every drawer and door was missing. The pool and spa were out of order and even if they were available were absolutely filthy. Definitely not the Comfort Inn it used to be.
