Not Recommended
Pros:

Staff at the front desk were friendly.

Cons:

The rooms were in a state of disrepair and had not been cleaned. The washroom, linens, carpet... everything was dirty. Some light fixtures were broken, holes in the ceiling, smell of weed was pervasive. A cockroach running across the floor was the last straw and we decided to leave.

Cons:

Property was absolutely disgusting. Mould in all the rooms, furniture looks like it came from a flooded house, carpet not cleaned. Baggies and ash laying on windowsills, awful smell, non working refrigerator, microwave filthy and missing turntable. We did not even stay it was so bad.

Do not book here
Pros:

There is absolutely nothing I liked about this place.

Cons:

As soon as I walked in it was a mistake. I came to the counter and two people asked me to wait 10 minutes to check in because they were eating dinner. I checked in and my husband, and 5 year old came in. We went to our "non-smoking " room and was immediately hit by cigarette smoke and weed smoke. I went to set my bag down because we were exhausted after working all day and then driving three hours, and stopped because I immediately saw bugs crawling on the dresser and bed. We walked out. Don't buy the travel insurance because they don't reimburse anything due to any of these issues. When they asked why we were leaving we said bugs and they weren't even surprised. I had to use every penny I had to find a clean hotel at the last minute ar 9 pm. Absolutely disgusting.
