While the hotel looks nice from the outside the inside is rundown. It looks like they tried to cover up an old motel but did a bad job. If I could get a refund I would. The breakfast was also made to seem like it was top notch but was also lacking. Our toilet didn’t work, the room had water stains on the roof, and there was holes in the wall along with paint on the floor and other details lacking throughout the room.
