Angela, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

I did not like the room or hotel due to it being old. I think overall it was clean but the beds the furniture in the rooms the carpet was just old and stained so it wasn’t to my liking. I do think if they upgraded that stuff the hotel would be great. And the staff was really nice
Shavon, 1-night trip

Property was a little dated but very clean, so it made up for that. The rooms are also very spacious, and they had a nice breakfast. The girl at the front desk was also very pleasant.
