The room had an awful smell, the bed linen was very dirty and very old and it made me and my wife itch. In order to avoid having to look for another hotel, we had to go to Ross and buy some bed linen to sleep, the doors getting stuck. The property was very neglected.

Good for the most part. Only four compaints. 1) breakfast was underwhelming. There was breakfast sandwhich with a limit of one. Some bagels, bread, cereal, and fruit + coffee and juice. 2) there were ants in the bathroom. 3) sandpaper toilet paper 4) a homeless man came roaming the property and i saw some people hop the fence, so it disnt feel the safest. Overall, it was okay for a one night stay but i wouldn't stay there again

With the property being close by to the highway, it was very loud. The pool was dirty and no one was sent the entire five days we stayed to clean our room. Breakfast was a very small selection and the Wi-Fi would stop working every 15-20 minutes. However, the staff were very friendly with us.
