First room smelled heavily of smoke even though this was a “smoke free” property. Second room had not been prepared for guests and the third room the lamp was broken and the socket and bulb were hangout. I carried it down to the front desk and she got another lamp and brought it to the room. She hooked it up and it worked. The bed was the best attribute of this property.

Overall, the stay was ok. Some of the staff wasn't so friendly. The room was ok, it did have a musty/stuffiness to it. The beds are HARD, just an fyi. It was clean-ish. We did have to get towels and toilet paper from the front because it wasn't stocked. Semi-quiet, our last night it was a bit noisey, but nothing major. My family and I were disappointed in the breakfast. There was really nothing to it. Pancakes and waffles you cook yourself. Cereal and oatmeal. That was all. So we opted to find food some place else.
