The overwhelming aroma of Marijuana in the hallways, front lobby and wofting into the room was off putting. Pool was closed. Tub drained fast, which was a nice change.

Checked in, a few minutes early, front desk staff member was friendly and helpful with dining recommendations. Hallway reeks of weed, room smelled clean. Left for dinner and a concert, came back and overpowering Marijuana odor from the front door to the room, including in the room too.

Disliked: Amenities
Overall it was a basic place to rest for the night. I found the bed very uncomfortable. This was a spur of the moment, last minute stay, so I was not prepared for the lack of most self care products. A bar of soap, and that was it
