I just wished the breakfast options each morning would have changed up a bit. At least add bacon, REAL orange juice and not Sunny D and freanch toast sticks. But front desk staff was amazing and available when I needed them. Rooms condition was worse than the pictures online and walls were filthy, had to ask to get a table or something clean by the front desk as cleaning staff was just chatting away.

The property was far from the condition in the photos. The pictures were old and led about the condition of the hotel and ground. It was absolutely disgusting and you could smell the mold. There were multiple locations in the hotel marked off with caution tape leaking water and visibly moldy. We didn't stay and never got a refund for the room.
