Very High Priced for being Not peak season

Not a bad stay. would be nice if they had coffee IN the rooms and maybe a hair dryer for those that forget to pack them :). The price was pretty outrageous but i guess with limited choices they can do that..Sad. The room itself wasn't bad, no bugs that we seen so that's a plus lol

Pleasantly suprised

I was pleasantly suprised at the cleanliness of the hotel and how well it has been brought up to par. This is just the first phase and the second is to come i was told by the gentleman at the desk. The room had plenty of space to unload into and was comfortable. Had to bring my own coffee pot but they do have coffee at the office. I would stay here again for sure!

Overall decent stay, room was clean when we arrived. After dropping our stuff off and leaving for a few hours, when we came back we smelt mold. The mold smell lasted the entire stay, i actually found it on the window seal on the last day. I wouldnt stay again but it served its purpose.
