Beds are horrible. They need to change the mattresses. Felt like I was sleeping on rocks with metal coming up my back. They REALLLLLYYY need a huge renovation and changing of the carpets. Service was subpar.

Before booking this trip, I noticed a lot of reviews that mentioned lack of cleanliness, or coming off as old-fashioned. I don’t think either are true. Only issue was construction cutting off the shortest route to the building, but I had a great time. Thanks guys! :)

I can’t say anything positive about this property. It was dirty and smelled so incredibly bad! There were bugs and mold everywhere! It is also clear that there are full time residents living here. Overall not a good experience and will not ever be returning!

Horrible!!

The worst place to stay! There was mud all over the kitchen area. We had to use a garbage can to fill up the toilet to be able to flush it. There was a smoke detector that beeped all night and the bed was hard as a rock. Plus no clean linens for the pull out bed, the lady at the desk was great though and found us some sheets that didn't fit but we made it work. We will never stay here again.
