Cleanliness was good, but the toilet was not anchored to the floor very well, water pressure was poor in the shower and hot water was almost non existent.

Our stay here was average. The room shown on the web is nothing like the room we stayed in. The walls could use a coat of paint. Thinks where pretty run down.

No Breakfast!
Well, the smell of cheap cleaning supplies filled the room when we first entered. We were really concerned, but the king size bed was really comfortable, even though the sheets were worn and faded. There was no breakfast, even though it was listed on the reservation. If you were looking for, a hotel to just sleep in it was fine if you’re looking for a hotel room to relax in we couldn’t even both stand up and walk around at the same time. The room was so small.
