The hotel location is great. The room initially looked good and clean, however, it is very clear there was a large water leak in the room at some point as the floors and wall around the shower were swollen. We were unable to close the bathroom door and it fell off the track almost falling down trying to close it. Likewise, there was a generally musty, moist smell and nats in the room. Some of there other rooms may be fine but it just was not the best experience for the price.
