Stay away

There is a strong unpleasant odor coming off the lobby. The hotel is old and moldy. The sheets on the bed are old and used up. Not something you'd even pass down to a homeless. I left 5 minutes after I walked in. I got sick being there just for 5 mns.

Hotel Stay Review

Stay was great. Parking behind the hotel was good for the price. Room was clean. Pillows were a little squishy. But I just prefer a firmer pillow. All was great. Had the buffet breakfast and it was tasty. A little pricey for $17 per person, but we ate enough and it tasted good so worth the cost.

We were very upset that after reading there was an option of free self parking we were only given the option of valet parking for 35.00. Being on a fixed budget this put a strain on the visit. That should be fixed
