The room was comfortable but seemed hastily cleaned. The smell of a deodorizer was overwhelming. Had to keep the windows open the entire time to air it out.

Location was amazing but property itself I was not a fan of. Moldy rusty shower, tiny bathroom poorly lit throughout room,stains on carpets, bed was so bad we couldnt wait to leave.. My college dorm room was more comfortable than this tiny room. Staff is amazing and friendly and check in and wireless key was super convenient. Also coffee on tap and water was wonderful. I wanted to love this property more but am grateful for an amazing weekend and for this lovely town.
