The hotel was under construction, yet it was still open for business. The hotel was in decent shape, but not what you would call clean and presentable. The pool was out of order, and the breakfast was terrible. The only saving grace was the restaurant on site (Chapala Grill).

They were remodeling when I was there. Despite the renovations , it was very comfortable and clean. I hope to stay here again next time I’m visiting family.

Disappointed!

We stayed at this property last year and were happy with it but this time, disappointing. We knew that they were doing renovations but when we arrived on the floor we were staying on we were surprised to see room numbers written on blue painter tape and taped to the doors; there were no baseboards although it didn't appear there was new carpet yet. The drapery in our room was hanging down as if one of the clips to hold it in place was broken. When we told the front desk the response was, they're going to be putting new drapes in the room anyway. Stained carpet in our room and stained cover sheet. Photos on hotels.com were not accurate. We expected a sofa in our room but there was none. The lobby pictures showed the same furniture but various colors and it appeared to have new carpet but it was just color enhanced. The breakfast area was nice with a variety of food.
