An older hotel with decent amenities but nothing special. Rooms are dark with harsh lighting. Our bathroom persistently smelled of cigarette smoke which was seemingly coming through the venting. Overall hotel felt shabby. But the staff was very nice and helpful and it was in an excellent location.

  • Save big on your vacation by combining your flights, hotels and car rentals into a package. Your travel budget will thank you for it.
