The room was clean, but the fixtures were outdated. There were rust spots on the closet door. The refrigerator hum was noticeable. There was also an odor, like maybe the carpeting is aged.

It was a disappointment all around

We book d this because of the large tub, it was falling apart. The spout was practically falling out, no good way to close the bottom to keep water in and it would have taken 5 hours to fill because they have added a water flow restrictor. The pool was another plus when choosing and it was closed when we arrived for maintenance. That was frustrating. The only plus was Julie at the front desk was super nice and helpful. She was great.
