First, the good news. Check in staff was very friendly and personable. Now, the not-so-good news: This property is in need of a serious update. You can tell that this was probably a primier or even luxury property "back in the day", but that day was a long time ago. The decor is dated and dark, and frankly downright depressing. If that wasn't bad enough, the common areas were not very clean. The lobby is dirty and dingy and everywhere you go, the place was just DARK, this includes the guestrooms. The pool area has potential, but again, another spot that is in serious need of an upgrade. The location is right by the area's nicest mall, that's a plus. But the owners really aren't taking full advantage of this in my opinion. I think the place gets the business it does because of its favorable location, but had I known about the other more updated options available, I would have chosen them instead. I do not believe I will ever stay here again.
