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.
