Ok for a night

Bed was comfortable and room was big. The tv remote didnt want to work right. Pillows were tiny and there was no bedding in the room for the pull out sofa. The exhaust vent was full of dirt and dust.

The staff is awesome morning or night. The hotel itself is in not the greatest shape. Example in my room there was a bench in the shower that was wood painted and it looked like it would give you splinters if you sat on it and the paint was very chipped. Ew.
