Do not stay at this hotel. There were black widow nests in the room and dead bugs. I’ve tried to get a refund but have been ignored by management. It was uninhabitable and a health concern.

The charge for the room was to much compared to the poor quality of the facilities. The shower mat was dirty, we had a half a pot of coffee in the coffee pot when we arrived and they didn’t even make up the room on our second day.
