Very basic room. Appreciated nightly room refresh. The “air freshener” used made the room almost uninhabitable the second night …

The floor was very dirty, there was mold in the bathroom, and the matresses were old. I have stayed here before, and really like the rooms. Not this visit.

Staff interaction was…. Limited. Upon check in, I didn’t even get a welcome, barely anything was said except “sign here”. Even with me trying to start a conversation. It just wasn’t that welcoming. Room was okay. There was mold on the showers and ceiling. Housekeeping was phenomenally good. They kept us up in towels and linens. Even changing our trash out late in the day. I
