There was a nice restaurant there but the continental breakfast was poor. Plumbing needs work and the room heater was noisy and couldn’t be adjusted.

Pay the extra few bucks and stay someplace better. The room was dirty. There was what i was hoping was salt or sugar in the drawer. The floor was sticky. The shower faucet was cracked. And the pillows were hard as a rock.
