When we got to our room there was dried urine all over the toilet seats . Bathroom door wouldn’t shut , rooms door didn’t lock properly. Bathroom was gross . You have to pay for breakfast which i was unaware of . I paid an absurd amount to stay in a hotel where only the front portion is new and the rooms were gross. so don’t be fooled by the photos . The room portion is an old building they added on to. And the walk to your rooms from the front is ridiculous. The guy who runs breakfast however was fantastic. Very friendly and helpful. This would not be a place I would choose to stay again . Over priced
