I felt the room was clean and spacious, only problem was a 6am domestic abuse/fight in the hallway. Was very concerned but front desk sent help. The hotel is older but kept fairly well. Not kid friendly though just feel a lot of get togethers happening there on weekends anyway, lol. But for a date night out low cost it’s not bad!! The heart shaped jetted tub nick. Just clean it first!!

Rooms smelt awful and musty, room was dirty and lights didn’t work. Had to ask to move rooms due to a loud noise in room and neighbors being loud. They also charged me for the room after I had already paid. I had to ask for a refund
