The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean but utilitarian. Those are the positives. On the downside, the property is showing its age, as evidenced by the attached photos. The air conditioner in our room was so loud that it drowned out the television. The sidewalk in front of our room was uneven (see photo). If I had known these things beforehand, I would not have taken a room.

We had higher expectations based on the reviews. We were checked in by a virtual assistant and my room card envelope said room 109 and we tried getting in that room for like 20 minutes and we couldn’t and there was no real staff available at around 10 PM. Then I got a text message that said my room was 121. It was very frustrating. Ok stay overall.
