The room was overall clean. My only complaint was the shower backed up with water during the shower and it had some hair in it (not mine). The room had a musty smell - like people had smoked in it (even though it is a non smoking room). The smell could have been coming from the AC. The breakfast was great. Nothing fancy, but I appreciated the variety and the hot options. They kept it well stocked. The staff was very professional.

Definitely, this is a hotel I would never return to. The hotel is in poor condition. The room had mold and a strong musty odor. When my family and I arrived and opened the door, there was a very strong smell of bleach mixed with dampness. We had to leave the door open for a while for that strong smell to dissipate. Under the beds was very dirty. The breakfast was terrible. They don't serve eggs. We arrived at the start of breakfast hours, and they only had the waffle maker, sausage, some cereal, apples, and coffee. "Hot Breakfast" is defined as eggs and bacon or sausage. They did not have this. They had cereal, bread, fruit, and the waffle maker. We will never return to this dirty hotel with such poor service. I do not recommend it.
