Older facility but staff do excellent job of keeping it very clean. Only annoyance the swipe key cards that are so sensitive to anything they touch. How about old fashioned keys again? I would have appreciated the staff apologizing for the inconvenience instead of repeatedly blaming me for the issue. I am the customer, the paying client.

This hotel is very dated, hasn't had upgrades--scuffed walls, stained rugs, chipped furniture. For the price we expected better. (At least it didn't smell). The courtyard was nice. The breakfast is laughable!
