We stayed here for a wedding and didn’t have a great experience cleanliness wise but the staff was AMAZING helping us. When we first arrived our fridge was full of mold. We called down and the manager, precious, was wonderful she had someone come switch out the fridge right away. Later we also notice a whole bunch of mold in our air conditioner. My husband went and talked to the manager again and she got us moved to a new room. The overall stay was fine, just the few mold problems and misty smell that came with it and with kids who have breathing issues we couldn’t stay in the mold areas. I will point out again that the manager precious was hands down amazing at helping us out for our room and wedding.
