The staff was excellent and very friendly. We were in room 257. The beds were hard and well woke up both mornings with back aches so we were tired both days of our trip. The shower head was low and I had to bend down to wash my hair and I’m 5’7”. The carpet was stained and the light fixtures were loose along with the door knob. I’m not sure I’d stay again.

Our room was very damp and only halfway cleaned. The carpet Smelled like mold, and was wet. Some rooms were allegedly remodeled, but ours and our friend’s were not. It was definitely not worth the money. On the bright side, the woman who worked the Free breakfast area was very sweet. But I will not stay there again.
