Room was clean but needs some upgrade (carpet, USB ports, WiFi security). Beds were comfortable. Quiet. Helpful if front desk would open earlier than 8am to pick up breakfast vouchers and for checkout.

Old and dated but relatively clean. Reminds me of hotels back in the 80’s. Pool is out of commission. Room is really spacious but sheets aren’t the cleanest. They are washed but there are spots on them.
