"Our first room.was not good, not the fault of the staff because it looked like it was still.new but as things dried out the wet spot by the bed turned out to be urine and the Bible had a huge Satanic message in it. When we moved the second night that room was much more pleasant and clean. Smelled better. The staff was amazing and breakfast was good. Its in town so really central to everything. We would stay again."
