Price gauging has left a bad impression. If the room had been the average price of $80 a night I wouldn’t have been so disappointed but since it was the weekend we were charged almost $800 for 2 rooms for 2 nights. Had to leave the first room bc the smell of mold was so strong, they sprayed the carpet and let someone else in the room after us. Killed two giant spiders and mold in the sinks. Just overall very disappointed. The beds were soft and that was the only okay part of the stay. Will not ever be returning to this property but I honestly don’t know if other hotels in the area are any better as this was the first time visiting the area.
