I stayed at this location several years ago and it was great. No complaints so on this last visit I was so disappointed to find that the shower had black mold on the tiles and around the faucet. Furniture was very worn and the refrigerator had been removed. I definitely overpaid for this quality. Also, the hotel is under construction and there was no mention of it during the booking. I would not stay there again.
