We have stayed here about 5 times. The rooms aren’t 5 star but have always been keep up. Last night we got the room definitely in need of restoration. It was on the back side and really rough. I booked online to confirm we would find room as was a holiday weekend. They said at checkout that the good rooms were full. Recommend looking at room prior to payment if possible.
