Room was nice and comfy. It was a bit hot in the room the A/C unit is older so it took a while for the room to cool. Overall it was worth it, would recommend.
Literally everything in the room smelled like cigarette Including the towels in the restroom. This place by far has been the most disgusting I’ve stayed at.
Did not even stay. Not what pictures described it’s not a hotel it’s a motel. We lost out on our money. We stayed elsewhere . Would not recommend this place at all
The water pessure in the bathroom sink was very low and the heater did not work properly in the room. We stayed for 2 nights, the room was not cleaned in the morning time, we only have 2 towels, 2 pillows on the bed and a very thin blanket for the bed as well.
