We didn’t realize that your room is more of a motel than hotel. It has an entrance from directly outside rather than inside the ‘hotel’. It was clean and offered a great breakfast.

I read reviews before booking.. but thought people were exaggerating.. THEY WERE NOT. We will not stay here again. Pay the extra for a better hotel if your staying more than two nights.. we learned our lesson. Side note: Location is good, breakfast is good.
