It was like it hadn't been touched since 1974 and the whole place smelled like grandma's dirt-floor basement. Whoever took the photos of the place deserves an award for making it look a hundred times better than real life. I paid for a king suite and got what looked like a prison cell.

The outside looked great. Inside not so. The room was extremely dimly lit with very few electrical outlets. The shower didn’t work, the A/C leaked into the room and during the night it popped loudly several times. The “Breakfast” was a small number of packed goods. No drinks.

The beds and pillows were awful. I felt like I was sleeping on a slab of cement and the pillows were like a bag of cement. We couldn't sleep, we decided to leave at 4am and drove home. Never will stay there again.
