I love to leave good reviews on places but unfortunately Ido not recommend. The hallways and rooms smell musty and like cigarettes. Queen suite had roaches. If you do happen to stay, upgrade to a king suite because it seems they take a little better care of those. It also seemed like the Staff couldn’t care less about us letting them know about the bugs and smell. We booked two rooms and our friends checked out within 30 mins of arriving because it felt so unclean. Also, book through the site directly because booking.com will give you a runaround about getting a refund. Location was great for what we needed, just unfortunate the condition of the rooms!

My first time booking here. The rooms were cheap due to the season. When I got into hotel room, I notice the bed. It looked like a full. I called the front desk to complain about the size. She said it’s a tiny queen. When boyfriend got into the room, he measured the bed. It barely is a queen, at least they should have given us a king. The king probably would like a Queen.it is a comfortable mattress. The hotel stunk badly i]on the third floor. It smelled of water damage. There’s only one elevator that is slow. Some times when you got on the elevator, it smelled of food, musty stink or tuna. We will not recommend nor book again here.
