My stay here came during a loved one’s hospitalization. Pros: very clean room, most comfortable hotel bed I’ve stayed in for awhile. Cons: the whole hallway smelled like weed, there were 6 cars in the lot and I think we were all piled around each other. There were very loud men’s voices yelling, children screaming and doors slamming. The room above me sounded like someone was marching back and forth wearing clogs (poor insulation between floors is my thought). I’m all for people having the opportunity to let down and relax, but it was odd in such an empty place to have it all so close to each other.

Room was clean. Pool was green and smelled nasty…. Went to eat breakfast in morning. Found out the milk in my cereal was a week expired. Breakfast was not worth it even being free. Asked for an extra blanket for our pull out couch they kept telling us it’s in a bag above safe. It was not but wouldn’t give us another blanket
