6.6/10 (662 reviews)
The most important thing is a good night's sleep. The mattress in our room sagged so much in the middle that I was constantly trying to move away from the centre. By morning, my back was killing me. The box spring might have been broken .. it made a lot of noise when we moved around. The room itself was nicely cleaned on the surface but the maintenance was terrible .. peeling paint that I though might fall on me as I slept .. paint even held together on the wall by tape. Mold in the tub area. We looked at eating in the restaurant on site but it smelled like it hadn't been properly cleaned in 20 years. Find another place to stay.
