The room and the bathroom were not perfectly clean and the shampoo was lucking, but it was still acceptable. We booked a room with a kitchenette in order to be able to cook something for the kids, but the kitchenette was so poorly equipped, so it wasn't possible to prepare anything. So it's better not to count in that facility and just eat in ine if the places in the area (there are some restraunts nearby).

I got a ada mobility accessible room with roll in shower. It was very good. the only down side was it only had one bed and the pillows were horrible. I did have to request more towel and wash cloths. The stay was very nice and quiet. Easy to get into and park.

Staff was great the hotel needs a lot of TLC. So, the mirror and toilet room holder were a bit rusty, and the light fixture hanging from the ceiling wasn't great either. The parking lot can get a little crowded, especially if you're coming late. Be prepared to park somewhere else if that happens. Also, the walls and door aren't amazing at soundproofing, so you might hear a bit more going on than you'd like.
