In general this was a very clean hotel, room was very clean, the bed was very comfortable. The second day we stayed there the second floor had a very strong sewer smell but didn’t hinder our stay.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
I picked this hotel because of the pool and the continental breakfast because I had children with me. Upon arrival, we were not told at check-in that the pool had been shut down by the Health Dept. We soon found out that it had been shut down 10 days earlier and still was not up and running. Continental breakfast left a lot to be desired, and we had ants in our room and smoke detector was literally hanging off the ceiling by a wire. And on top of all this, the Wi-Fi was down as well.
