Stayed here for a soccer tournament, and i would never go back, neither would I recommend it. This place was horrible. There was an awful smell as soon as you walk in, very outdated, rooms either have a musty odor to them or a cigarette smell. My room had dog hair all over the carpet, it was all over our socks our clothes, everything. Staff was not nice. Our bathroom even had mold, and sink wasn't working!

Check in was very easy and the staff was appropriate. Room was clean and quiet. Carpets were old but clean. Breakfast was good but not being able to keep our dog in the dining room was inconvenient. Location was very easy to find and close to many things. Would recommend

I would not go here again

Room floor was damp the whole time, bathroom the smallest I've ever seen in a hotel, room was missing tissue boxes, and there was a loud party outside one night that went until 3 am and no one called the cops from the front desk. Overall, not a great experience. Noisy location out the window the whole trip too.
