8.2/10 Very Good! (1,009 reviews)
Clean, comfortable, and affordable. The staff were incredibly nice. Upon entering the room, we quickly realized the sink wouldn’t drain. We told them on our way out to activities and it was fixed by the time we got back. They answered all our questions from things about the pool, to the laundry facility. The housekeeping ladies did a great job and were kind as well!

Located across the street from the overflow parking lot for the Steam Train. Follow the tracks. This is best as a morning shot... 8-9:30 a.m. Great textures and details on this piece. I spent an hour shooting it. The "AMERICAN" logo is classic. #TroverDetour #Abandoned
