"We stayed in the handicap accessible room, as we wanted a king bed and that was all that was available. The room must not be used much because it smelled musty and the sheer curtains were torn alot! Also, the shower did not drain well and water was everywhere. However, the shower had hot water and the water had a lot of pressure, and breakfast was very good!"
