For a weekend getaway it’s a fair price. Not too far from home. We had some noisy neighbors that didn’t go to bed until late night.

I never saw any staff the entire time we were there, they texted me that I could not check in until 3 (Fine) and when we got there I was very disappointed. The outlets we needed to charge our phone were behind the bed and when I looked back there there was tons of dust and actual garbage, I was the dirtiest place I have stayed in a long time and was no bargain. For sure not worth the money!
