Disappointing experience. Was put in the motel section of the property and room was very stale smelling. We were shown another room two doors down and it was just as bad. Walls are very thin so tvs, music, voices, laughter all heard very easily. Rooms are pretty plain, shower is “tired” looking. Wouldn’t come again.
