The room was incredibly dated. The bathtub was patched up with a vinyl patch. The skylight was taped up with duct tape and collected condensation after on shower. It continued to drip on you all day. The room smelled like mold. This property went down hill dramatically. The beds are hard and the heaters sounded like a helicopter was in your room. I was highly disappointed.

Yes room was clean and staff was friendly. The only thing is that the toilet did not work properly and the furnace/ air conditioner did not work. We let the front desk know about it when we checked out. We were in and out of the room so we did not let them know beforehand otherwise they told me they would of taken care of it right away. We enjoyed the breakfast they provided. It was a great location. We liked the area and felt safe
