Review Score:   6
Summary: Entrance and lobby set the tone. Boxes. Junk where the computer and brochures are. Trash bins heaped full at the entrance to the hallways, stinks. Room smells of mildew. Disappointing. Landscaping over grown with weeds, how would you expect the interior any better? Only good thing is the room rate and the air conditioning and heater worked! Breakfast was with out bananas and only two old cuties that no one took. No silverware, they need an attendant to wipe off tables.
