The room was in disrepair. Mold on the ceilings, paint peeling and cobwebs in multiple places. The milk was spoiled on the breakfast buffet, the food was flavorless and the guy at the omelette station was rude. The bartender on Friday night swelled like he hadn’t showered in a week, there were no snacks left at 6:30 for the cocktail hour - just an overall bad experience!

Our stay was great, other than a clogged bathtub drain and a drain stopper that wouldn’t lift in the extra sink. Staff were friendly and helpful, food was great! The beds were comfy and the room was clean.
