Overall the Hotel was nice and clean, unfortunately the Pool was not operating and I had a child with me looking forward to using it, furthermore, the shower curtain pole in our room was broken and the shower curtain would not close making the bathroom floor wet and slippery. Lastly, the toilet was not flushing properly.

Do not stay here.

I stayed one night in this hotel (thank God). It smelled horrible. Staff did not have manors or any kind of professionalism so to in their approach on the phone or in person. Rooms were dirty (curtains, bath tubs, sheets. I used my own blankets and sheets. The “breakfast” was pitiful and at weird hours. The $100 deposit was never disclosed until I arrived and it was more than my stay there, and even the front desk seemed afraid to bring it up because even they know it’s ridiculous. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Stay away.
