The room had a musty smell. The carpet and floor were damp during the entire stay. Tried to air and dry it out by opening the windows but that didn't work. Unfortunately this put a damper on our trip, no pun intended.

Probably would pass on this one.
Exterior is beautiful, but rooms are outdated, rundown and not clean. Hallway smells wet and musty. Breakfast is $24/person. Management offered to switch us to a different room, but it wasn't worth relocating for such a short stay.
