Liked: Cleanliness
The front desk agent was dismissive and not very helpful. We asked what time do they do house keeping cleaning and he just said between 9am-5pm. Very monotone and just simply uninterested. The next day we were out all day and afternoon and we hoped to come back to a clean hotel room but no one yet showed up. Even though we saw like 3 of them in the morning. It wasn’t until they came and knocked at like 4pm but at that point we didn’t want to leave the room for them to clean. We also asked for extra towels and again we where met with attitude. It was a great room everything was good except all of the other stuff.

Bathroom wasn’t the cleanest and it wasn’t suitable for a walker. Bathtub was too high for a handicapped person to use. People were nice, however. And the bed was comfortable.

The room was good. It definitely needed some touch ups but it was comfortable. The bed pillows were some of the least comfortable pillows i've slept on. Other than that is was a nice place to stay for a couple days and it was very affordable.
