The first room they provided smelled like mold. The second room the toilet stopped up and we had to plunged it ourselves. Lastly, i paid for late check out, they harassed me by knocking on the door three times and calling me to make sure i paid $10.00 extra. I will never stay there again.

The only problem we had was it seemed like the tub was going to fall through the floor. The tub floor was very soft and had a crack in it when we checked in. Of course it was not discovered until shower time. Other than that it was an excellent stay and we will definitely stay again.
