I suppose it could have been worse. They appear to be doing and offering the bare minimum. Pool was also closed, not that I would have gotten in it based on the level of upkeep on the rest of the property.

Stayed for one night. Hotel is ok if you just need a place to sleep. Otherwise do not recommend. Ice machines also didn’t work. Stayed in the non smoking room but you can smell smoke in the hall way.
