Wouldn’t recommend
Breakfast had day old donuts coffee and stale bagels. The beds were hard there’s wood missing off most furniture and the bedding was stained and had cigarette burns. The room itself was cleanish but it’s pretty dingy and the pool was completely cloudy.

DISGUSTING
Absolutely disgusting, do not stay here. I walked in and saw the condition of the lobby and hallways and already was hesitant. Went ahead and checked in. Walked in my room turn around walked out front desk said they wanted me happy if I just call hotels.com. I could get a refund and then I got completely denied.
