The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean but utilitarian. Those are the positives. On the downside, the property is showing its age, as evidenced by the attached photos. The air conditioner in our room was so loud that it drowned out the television. The sidewalk in front of our room was uneven (see photo). If I had known these things beforehand, I would not have taken a room.
