I often go to this property for a staycation and howling midweek it's a lot more chill and can be sooo pleasant but i stayed in the double bunk bed room this last time and its on the older side of the hotel it was kind of ghetto. There was carvings on the wood inside the bunk bed and way too much carpet that's my big hang up here way too much fabric in the rooms so bring your benadryl for a nights stay. They have to pick wither fabric for decor or hardwood floors it's too much. The rooms in the back of the hotel have a smell of mold so i had to out essential oil around the room. Otherwise so much i love about this hotel just the rooms too much carpet
