This is not a place i would stay again unless there was no other hotel available as a last resort. The cashless policy is very inconvenient. This is not a place for someone with mobility issues. The air did not work. The hotel is very old and needs updating. There are other hotels that are far better. Bottom line.....this place is not worth staying.
