We did not use the tub or the pool. The room is clean but I think ut needs renovation. There is a smell characteristic of old building (musty?). The staff at the front desk was friendly and helpful.

The rooms were clean, the pool was clean, the front desk guy was very friendly while checking me in. I thought it was a pretty good experience all the way around for what we paid. We'll probably only be staying here from now on when vacationing on the coast.
