Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Very nice staff and room was very clean. Location was nice as well. The reason for the lower review is because the room smelled very musty (probably a 7 on a scale of 1-10), and because the shower was not nice at all. Low water pressure, very slow drain. Decent place to crash, but not a good place to stay for days in my opinion. Next time we go, we will likely pay more for better accommodations.

Awful

Terrible stay for the cost - beds are loud and uncomfortable and smelled like cologne from either the previous stay or hotel workers. Loose wiring, broken lamp, cracks in the walls and drywall, and pet hair all added up to a pretty bad experience. If you’re looking for something comfortable for a leisurely vacation, this isn’t the place for it.
