The rooms were large and breakfast good. The room and hotel as a whole needs some attention. The room smelled poorly when we walked in because the AC had been off a while and the room could have been cleaner and a few things updated.

Disliked: Staff & service
We asked for a first floor room or room near the elevator due to a medical condition. We were reserved a room on the 4th floor where we had to walk a long distance to get there. We had to walk down stairs from the parking lot which was not disability accessible. I would not stay here again.
