Some rooms are decent, others are damp and musty. The first room the bedding was damp to the touch from the humidity and the shower had hair all over, however the front desk staff gave us a new room with no questions.

Parking is always very tight. Rooms could stand some updates. Bedding seriously needs to be updated. I new quality mattress would have made this review higher rated. We have stayed here several times and it’s not bad for the price. Our room had a very tight bathroom and no lighting in the very dark tiny shower stall.
