Once we complained about the mold and mildew they accused us of smoking in our room. Which was bogus. I simply wanted attention brought to the mold.
Mold on ceiling

The room was clean. The bathroom needed a little touching up in the floor, and baseboard area. The shower control needed replacing. Also, no coffee maker in the room. At this time, there was no ice machine, but the clerk did get me some. The staff was friendly, and helpful. Particularly the lady working the afternoon shift. The continental breakfast was just okay.
