Just okay stay with some serious downsides

bad check-inlingering smell

Check-in was a total mess and took forever. Two hours just to get into my room. I found a weird smell lingering in the rooms and didn't appreciate it. For what I paid, the facilities didn't even begin to measure up. I wouldn't go there again.
