The pillows are not firm enough and was hard on my neck. Suggest firmer pillows. Also, there was something outside or downstairs which kept knocking every few minutes…maybe a vent or heater. But was noisy.

The staff was friendly and welcoming. The room fell short in a few ways but the one that counted the most was the bed. It was so uncomfortable that we got up and left by 7am to drive four hours home

There was massive mold in my room, in my mother's room the heater didn't work and she slept in her coat, the breakfast was cheap bread and the staff was horrid. NEVER stay here. This hotel was the quality of a $50 hotel at the price of $200+
