The room was basic, but very clean and comfortable. My only complaint is that the odorizer they use when cleaning the rooms is overpowering. Way too overdone and the smell never goes away. It was bad enough that I might not stay there again.

So I’m being sour grapes probably because I drive a big truck for work and they shoved me in a corner in the back I could barely fit so I took up two parking spaces only to get woke up at 10 o’clock at night to be asked to scoot my truck over to one spot against a fence wich I could barely get out of in the morning at 6:30 when I had to leave

Yes, the property is older. The couple that runs the place have done a great job of making sure it is comfortable and clean. The flowers everywhere are wonderful. So, don't expect Marriott, however, for the convenience and price, you can't go wrong.
