Floor was dirty and the shower hardly drained, it was a pool of gray water you got to stand in... Positive, the bed was very comfortable and the ac unit did a good job at keeping the room comfortable. When staff was asked for more towels, they provided very quickly.

The property could use some updating in the rooms. The bathroom was extremely small with a very old shower stall. Could have been a little cleaner. Hardly enough room to turn around in bathroom. The beds were nice. The view from the room was beautiful. There was an old upholstered chair in the room that looked quite dirty. Very accommodating for a last minute reservation.

We moved rooms 3 times. The 1st one was so musty smelling we couldn't even handle being in the room for more than 5 minutes. In our 2nd room it was still musty and the TV didn't work.

I spilled some water in the floor right when we first got there. Wiped it with paper towels and they were black when done. Gross. If you get stuck in unit 10 I hope light doesn't bother you. At night it lights up like the Russian tea room. They switched from black out drapes to blinds.
