We started for 2 nights. After the first night, we saw that someone’s window had been smashed. This is a known problem in the area (break ins) - every time I stay in the area, I know of someone whose window has been smashed. Do not leave anything valuable or anything that looks like it may be valuable in your car. I wish the hotels would come together to offer overnight patrol. BC they do not, it continues to happen.

Absolutely awful
The room was not clean, especially the bathroom. There were stains everywhere. There were hairs in the towels. The pillows and beds were the worst we have ever encountered; we had two sleepless nights because they were so uncomfortable. This was the worst hotel we have ever stayed at.
