Staff was great! Property was clean and the rooms looked like the photos! Unfortunately our room had a strong muggy smell and from being super tired from the drive we never looked at our beds and pillow cases which we looked at in the morning that they had Mold on them which wife and daughter had slept on.

Everything seemed to be ok with the room. It’s not the Hilton, if that’s what you’re looking for. The property itself was a bit sketchy. Upon arrival there were men hanging around outside and being loud, was told police patrolled the area periodically. You get what you pay for…we started our vacation early, so we came into town late and just needed somewhere to rest until we could check into our Airbnb the next day.
