This property is excellent. The newer section is much nicer than the original. That being said we’ve had rooms in both section and they were clean and comfortable.

2nd time staying at this hotel. Recent stay in the 5 series rooms. The bathroom needs re-grouting, black moldy spots were everywhere. The tub was unstable (felt as if I would fall through). Bathroom was very small - fit one person at a time. Carpet was also not very clean. Hotel is outdated. The Legend restaurant was good convenient food. The hotel does have free parking.
