I had forgotten that this hotel didn't provide breakfast, so that was a little frustrating. Most hotels do now, so you kind of just take it for granted. The room was fine, and the price was great. The best part of our stay was the frogs outside our window singing us to sleep both nights we were there!

Our room smelled of smoke, the shower had mold around the ceiling, the ice maker in our room didn't work, the pool was closed, and the channel lineup sheet was not correct. This place was a hot mess. Jeff was very friendly and helpful at the front desk but at one point we sat in the lobby hanging out and watched a lady wait for over 20 minutes for sometime to come back and help her. We will not stay here again.
