Wouldn’t stay here again
The shower water was cold and took 3 minutes to warm up and then would get really hot or cold throughout. There was no headboard on the bed and the wall was cold.

The hotel has added some new units behind the main hotel, and we stayed there. Quiet, clean, and brand new. Ours was an “accessible” room, so very open shower and low countertops. All good. Parking right by our room. A very nice stay!
