It was a decent room, fairly clean. I wasn't expecting a 4 star experience from a budget hotel. There were a few things that could have been better though. The breakfast was nice, but to say that options were limited would be an understatement. The only real negative was average at best water pressure and temperature. The room was clean, but it looked like it could use a thorough deep clean. Furniture was well used but still functional.

The pictures are deceiving. The non-smoking room I reserved smelled as though someone had just smoked a cigarette in it. I was moved to another room, but although it appeared somewhat clean, the linens had an unpleasant odor as well. Overall, the property is dirty and poorly maintained — more like a roadside motel than what was advertised. I would not stay here again.

The property certainly doesn’t look like it does in the photos. A little sketchy at night time - our window curtain was closed by a piece of duct tape. The “restaurant” is a seafood only buffet. And there was beard hair all over the only sink. Otherwise a cheap place to stay if you’re only going to be there to sleep.
