“terrible”

Reviewed 22 May 2013

terrible. out dated. old carpet, old beds and bedding, and bathrooms in need of a complete renovation. i would compare it to an old red roof inn on i 75...except the red roof inn is only $39 a night. the pool was ok but nothing special. i would not go back. the staff wore white gloves. very strange.
