I was a little worried about booking a room here, but only because it was super inexpensive. When I got to the hotel, the overnight counter person was extremely kind. It was around 3am and I’m sure he knew I was ready for bed. The check in time was maybe 90 seconds. On the way to the room, I noticed how clean and beautiful the hotel really was. Once I got to my room, my final fear vanished as fast as it was formed. The room was spotless. Bed comfortable. And very spacious.

When we got to our room there was dried urine all over the toilet seats . Bathroom door wouldn’t shut , rooms door didn’t lock properly. Bathroom was gross . You have to pay for breakfast which i was unaware of . I paid an absurd amount to stay in a hotel where only the front portion is new and the rooms were gross. so don’t be fooled by the photos . The room portion is an old building they added on to. And the walk to your rooms from the front is ridiculous. The guy who runs breakfast however was fantastic. Very friendly and helpful. This would not be a place I would choose to stay again . Over priced
