We have stayed here in the past a few times. This time was absolutely awful. Roo. Was not clean, beding was old torn and stained with paint, smelled like cigarettes even though we booked a non smoking room. Hall smelled like stale cigarettes and Marijuana. Bathroom was not very clean. It was so noisy we had tk sleep with the TV on. We will definitely not ever be staying here again.
