The welcoming staff made the check-in enjoyable. Although the property is older, it is clean and the towels were fresh and new. The bed was comfortable. For a quick stopover in a reasonable price range I recommended this property.

We booked a hot tub room. Because why not. The room was hot with an A/C that didn't work. in October. I couldn't imagine what it's like during the summer. Then we went to use the In room Hot tub. No water hotter than 98 came out of the faucet. By far one of the worst places we have stayed. I don't understand how there are so many good reviews. There were 5 hotels much nicer within walking distance.
