We booked this hotel due to good reviews; however, I am not sure how anyone gave higher than a 2 star review. The whole building has a weird smell from your initial entering. The room had cobwebs and thick layers of dust on the curtains, lamp shade, etc. the lotion was very clearly used. Towels are super small and gave us just 3 even though we had 4 guests. A big reason we chose this hotel was also the breakfast which was included. Well not even my two kids could stomach the food and the waffle iron must had never been cleaned because thinking it was a safe bet, it came out black from a very dirty waffle iron. We had to go down the street to a coffee shop to get an actual coffee and small breakfast. Very disappointed and would highly not recommend for the almost $200 we paid for one night.
