Musty, crusty, noisy and old. Our first room was over top of a holiday party and it sounded like they were in the bedroom with us. We moved to the "little hotel" which was equipped much like the state park cabins I've stayed in :( . Everything smelled musty, the carpet felt damp, and the walls were paper thin. Poor experience for sure. Staff was kind but overall it stunk.
