The rooms were clean but had a very strong disinfectant & musty smell. The grass around the hotel was very overgrown. Could feel the springs in the mattress, so it wasn't comfortable to sleep on. The owners were very accommodating & helpful in finding a way for our group to watch the baseball game together.
