The hotel is nice and clean, but definitely there were areas we found were a bit worn down. Also, they only had 2 washer/dryer for the entire hotel and both were not functioning when we were there. Also, no sign was placed on 2 of the non-functioning washer/dryers so a lot of time was wasted figuring that out. On another night, I used the hotel gym and children were in there playing on the machines and with the weights like it was a playground! Overall, we enjoyed our stay since we were out and about most of the day.. but will probably chose a different hotel in the same area next time.
