"We arrived at 2:15PM and could check-in for a $20 fee so we left. Once we returned, the room my parents were given was still being cleaned. The kind cleaning people called and had their room changed to the room next door. A little weird but not the end of the year. The rooms are super dark but it was clean and spacious. Feels like the rooms may have been updated in the last few years."
