The property is very dated and the room had a smell of mildew. The worst part was that the air conditioner in our room was not circulating. We had the staff come 3 separate times of the course of our 3 day stay to try to fix the issue with failure every time. It left us trying to sleep in a smelly hot room. When the air is cooler outside and it’s 80-90 degrees than it is inside the room- that is a problem.

Smelled like mold and mildew. It was so strong we almost had to leave but it was too expensive to go somewhere else. We had to buy air fresheners and sprays to make it livable but it was still so bad. The carpets are damp too which I assume is where the mold is. I assume all rooms smell like this. We are usually not very picky about where we stay and we can adjust to some inconveniences but this place crossed the line with cleanliness. If they could update their bedding and furniture and get rid of the smell I would say it’s not bad, but I HIGHLY DO NOT recommend staying here for longer than one night. We got sore throats after 3 nights!! Please look around at other options OR spend the money to stay somewhere nicer. We sure wish we did.
