While the staff was exceedingly lovely and kind, the property needs work. The bathrooms/tubs are dated with cracks in the ceiling, the pillows are not pillows but rather sandbags, ceilings throughout the property look dirty, light fixtures in lobby had cobwebs and were broken, the fold out sofa had a “mattress” that was 1 inch thick and squeaked with any movement. Cold be a great place with some TLC

When we walked into our room, the sofa bed was completely taken apart. And just halfway pushed back in, and all the cabinets were wide open, including the.Refrigerator. it was like somebody tore through there, trying to clean, but then didn't finish. It was weird. The rest of the whole the hotel seemed nice and the people were nice but that was the only weird thing. Trafficking the area is absolutely crazy
