The staff was great. The jacuzzi was great. There was a lot of noise in the hallway all night making it hard to sleep. If not for that it was a nice place to stay.

The room was really out dated and looked dirty. It was so noisy we could hear the waffle machine in the morning going off and we were not close to the breakfast area. It was good for the price but don’t expect anything nice.
