The room was dirty. The floor in the room was not clean, also the bathroom floor was dirty also. Cleanliness was a fail. The bed looked like someone just got off of it before i walked in the room. You could have wrote on the direct tv box with your finger because there was so much dust on it!!! If i could have i would of left and went somewhere else.

Don’t stay there.

This hotel needs renovated. It is literally falling apart. Wood trim fell down from the light and hit me in the head. Toilet would not flush unless I took off the lid and wiggled the inside parts.

The place was great, the name change threw us when we were making the reservation. The only thing that was disappointing was that there were no sausages for breakfast, there was a spot for them but it was empty. Thank you!
