There was MOLD IN THE BATHROOM CEILING! The shower stall had not been cleaned in days. I have photos! Terrible place to stay and the smell was bad. I am allergic to mold! Why? I do NOT recommend staying here. Glass broken outside. Breakfast the next morning was sparse to say the least. Never stay here! Not worth it!

I have stayed at this property before and I certainly appreciate the improvements and renovations that the new owner has done. The room I stayed in was definitely an improvement from previous stays. And the parking lot was very well lit which I appreciated for security purposes. Although I didn’t personally partake of the breakfast I did see that they had a good selection of items, including waffles.
