Room and bathroom was dirty. The room had some “hardware” left in the wall for a mirror that used to be there, which was a sight for sore eyes.

We had a family wedding on the same weekend as graduations were happening, so the hotel was booked. We needed 3 rooms for 2 nights each. One of the rooms did not have a working shower and had a musty smell, so we were moved to a different room for the second night. The beds were a little on the hard side, but had a pillow top so they were mostly comfortable. The breakfast buffet was good and the pool was in decent shape, so the grandkids enjoyed a swim.

Mold in the refrigerator, the security lock was broken off the door and we found a bed bug in the bed where my son was sleeping. Absolutely disgusting, I would never stay here again!
