Anyone with sensitivity to mold - do not stay here. There were tons of very large spores that appeared to be mold growth on all of the windows. Even if it wasn’t harmful, it is very uncomfortable to stay in a room with that appearance. It looked disgusting. Also the shower floors are made out of a plastic material and are porous They have become dingy and dirty looking. The once white towels have been reused so much they look gray. The guy who checked us in was very polite and attentive. The guy at the desk in the morning, just stared at us and didn’t even say good morning after we spoke to him first. If you choose to stay here, please be safe.

The staff was wonderful. The dead bolt didn't work on our room, one light in the bathroom flickered so we removed it for safety, and unfortunately we weren't able to use the dining area one of the nights we stayed. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay. We would stay there again if we needed to in the future.
