The staff was pleasant and the hotel seemed clean. However, there was a strong smell of marijuana in the elevator and on my floor. There were people just sitting outside of the elevator on my floor eating snacks and stinking. It was so bad that the smell made it under my door woke me up throughout the night.

I did not have breakfast on property. The hot tub was broken but was only notified at check in, that was a bummer. I was unable to get water warm enough to take a shower on Sunday around ten am, I’ve never experienced that at a hotel before. I was able to shower without issue the day before. Room was warm and comfortable. Staff was friendly. Location was perfect for visiting friends in the area.
