This hotel is old and rundown. Our particular room smelled like urine. The toilet in the bathroom was not fully connected to the floor. Literally it could be tipped over or picked up right out of the floor. The pool was small and appeared to need an upgrade as the paint at the bottom of the pool was discolored and peeling. On a positive note, the water pressure was great.

We had no shower curtain in our room, holes in curtains and room smelled like mildew/musty. We also had an infestation of ants and had to get bug spray from the front desk. This place definitely needs updated and maintained better.
