Stayed there because my granddaughter was having surgery at the nearby hospital. The a/c wasn’t working. Maintenance did come to fix it but it still didn’t work well. The building is just old. Everything is outdated and the room smelled very musty.

The pool patio access from our hotel room was perfect. The pool was heated which made it really nice and relaxing. Loved that there was a small kitchen to cook and keep things cool. Housekeeping was fantastic, when we requested them to come they even washed some dirty dishes for us that we had in the sink. Definitely enjoyed our stay here.
