Decent but jenky
The hotel is decent but the elevator was out of order so you had to lug your luggage up stairs and landscapers were blowing leaves and mowing at 8:30 am on a Saturday. Maybe do it on a weekday when people have to get up.

The beds and shower were just perfect. The location isnt great, we didnt expect it to be in poor area. The smelling of pot was strong and it was everywhere in the hallway. 2nd night, the hallway and our room had sewer smell. It was awful! We were disappointed the pool was closed for the season then we found out the hot tub was broken.

The hotel was in an industrial area, but close to highways, making it easy to get around. However, there was a strong sulfur or sewage-like smell outside the hotel that was horrible.
