It is always good . We stay there a lot. The bldg itself is outdated and could use a little updating but the location is amazing.

4/10 Fair

Our stay

The whole bilding has an odor. You didnt smell it as much in the rooms but you could still smell it. All through the hallways was horrible. There was mold starting in the bathroom above the tub behind and uptop of the bathroom door and in the tile grout where you hang your towel. Beds and pillows was not comfortable.
