Property was pretty run down and not detailed clean. The breakfast area is not very well maintained. Filthy windows and cream packets on the floor between the windows on the floor. It appears surface level clean but not ever deep cleaned after so many people have been through there. The beds were not queen as advertised and sheets were stained and dirty.

Everything was good. I had an issue with the lock box in the room. It was fixed but it took me asking multiple times. Also, there was not breakfast one morning, although it may have been due to the winter storm.

I stayed here because it had really good reviews like 8.2 stars out of 10. It wasn’t horrible but it was not the cleanest or in the best shape. 6 out of 10 stars would be more accurate
