The staff was excellent from the check in to the maintenance to the breakfast staff. The rooms do need to be updated and in my opinion have a moldy smell. They did change my room and the second one was better.

Nice & Quiet

The employees were nice and professional. The room smell like musk. And the air conditioner didn't circulate around the room. Otherwise, the stay was pleasant.
