We stayed for one night and it sufficed - would probably not stay for two night. I don’t know if we just got a bad room but the bed was awful. Creaked and shook when getting in and moving around and we thought we were going to fall through the bed during the night. Area felt a little sketch, but it was alright! Like I said, it was fine for a one night stay.

Okay

The first night was not that good. The room that we stayed in smelled, had ants, the beds were hard with the pillows were very lumpy and had some other issues. We got in late so we couldn't change rooms that day. The next day I went to the office to see if I can a different room because of the issues that the room had. They were more than happy to switch rooms for us. The second room was better. It smelled clean there was no ants. The only thing was the beds. My bed felt that I was going to sink in the middle of it and the pillows were the same as the first room. It was not a bad place to stay for the price.

Very outdated

We booked the renovated room and it was still quite old and really dirty carpet. The restroom is small and the side/back parking just seems sketchy.. We had to book almost last minute to attend funeral. For the price, the quality is very low. If it was less expensive it’s ok for a 1 or 2 night trip.

Bed mattress is the worst I’ve ever experienced. Air conditioning unit super loud right above the bed. Door in between rooms is not secured. Simple latch only I found the door partially opened when I arrived in my room. Didn’t feel safe sleeping thinking the door can just be pushed open with very little force.
