Helpful staff, sounds like they're new owners. Nothing fancy, but nice room and good basic breakfast.
Black mold on the ceiling and tiles in the bathroom. Non-working toilet. At least the staff was able to move us to a different room, but there shouldn't have been a room in that condition in the first place
Staff was very friendly. Great breakfast. Quiet and comfortable. I got a lot of work done. Only complaint was that one of the lamps in the room did not work. Other than that great stay!

Stay was horrible service was horrible reservation was all a mess as well. I want my stay refunded as I will not come back
Key card didn't work and staff didn't check to verify that it worked after having to let me into the room initially, so it happened again late at night when I came back and had to wait forever to get into my room again.
