Great location and many things to do in the area. The hotel itself was decent. Our door was broken and didnt shut tight at all. So at any time you could walk right into our room. Mentioned to front desk twice and they stated it was fixed. It was not. Also our entire floor smelled of marijuana. When mentioned to housekeeping they stated that happens often and there's nothing they can do about it.

Breakfast was weak. Not a lot of options. The hotel smelled like curry. The whole second floor smelled like someone was cooking in the hall. The room itself was good and clean. Price was good.

Check in was quick, friendly staff. Room was a 2 queen suite. Had lots of room, bathroom & shower was very small. Tub had a crack on the side, water pressure was low, had hot water, no where to hang clothes up. Beds were ok. Breakfast was terrible. Staff kept saying machines were broke. There was little milk, no juice, few muffins. You could smell marijuana in the hall when we left. For the price we paid I would not stay here again.

Just about everything was broken

The Tv had a black line down the screen like it was broken. So I then try to call the front desk and the phone doesn’t work. The sink leaked water out the bottom so I had to keep a towel under it so it didn’t drain onto the floor. The shower was leaking water from the spout onto the wall then into the floor. The night stand light flickered so much that I had to keep it turned off. The only thing that really worked as it should is the air conditioner
