Everything seemed very good but the parking spaces seemed a little tight which is important when you’re trying to unload your car and the towels were a little thin.

I recently stayed at this hotel after having visited many years ago, and it seems they haven’t invested much in keeping the rooms or property in good shape. Unfortunately, the bed and pillow were quite uncomfortable, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. The room was average at best. The shower was dirty, which was disappointing and raised concerns about cleanliness. Additionally, the AC unit didn’t work well, leaving the room feeling muggy and unpleasantly humid, with a noticeable musty smell that made the stay even less comfortable. Overall, it’s clear that the hotel could benefit from significant updates and maintenance.
