Anonymous, Mar 2019
Pros (+) The rooms were spacious, and the staff were nice.
Cons (-) The rooms, especially the bathrooms are a bit dated. It would be a good idea for the hotel to go through a remodel. But it was clean and everything worked, just needs to be brought out of the 90s.

Cons (-) Very very dated needs complete Reno. Plus they must not look up when they clean.

Plus 6 nights and no new towels etc. wifi slow or non If privately own condos they shouldn't rent people's who aren't updated as $200 per nigh...
