"The staff was very pleasant and helpful through the check-in. However, there were shady people in the parking lot playing loud music through the night, the non smoking room reeked of cigarettes, and there was visible mold in the bathroom. I paid for a two night stay and left the morning after our first night. Would not recommend to anyone, especially if you are staying with children."
