At first, I was excited because of the location is great and the view is amazing. Stuff was efficient and then I got to the room and everything that I thought because of the reviews online changed. This place does not worth a very good rating it is an average motel six room old inside everything is old and not very clean. There’s not worth the amount they’re charged me. Basically they’re charging for the location but there’s no luxury at all for a little bit more if I knew I would’ve stayed somewhere else. The description online is not accurate as far as the room goes.

Stayed in room 212 which had a constant loud fan type noise that stayed on even when a/c and heater were off. If you like white noise maybe it would not bother you but I found it disrupted my sleep - even with ear plugs. Everything else about the property was great. Friendly, helpful staff, room was clean.
