Walked in and although it looked clean there was a pungent odor in the room. Black mold see on ceiling and around shower. Nice king bed but terrible mattress. TOO soft and the wife and I kept rolling to the center.

Clean and reasonable.

It would have been good if the ac had been turned on when we arrived. It was 100 degrees outside. Room was very clean. Very reasonable rate.

This property is not ready for guests. There was literally not one other guest there. We checked in anyway, found dark brown water in the sink and shower, and were told no one was on staff after 5 pm but we could call someone if needed. We left. They should not be taking reservations until they have their act together and the water fixed and full time staffing.

Most facilities at the location were good. Though all the rooms have a "no smoking" sign, our room still smelled of smoke until we aired it out. Some minor cosmetic facility defects, but nothing that would deter us from coming back.

Room was clean and comfortable. Has a coffee maker and microwave which is nice for putting together a breakfast. Walls were thin and we could hear some loud guests in the room next door (or upstairs?) after we had gone to sleep. Would stay there again, but would put in earplugs as I went to sleep.
