Nice staff
The desk clerk was very pleasant. I had to switch rooms because my tv did not work. The 2nd room wasn’t comparable. That double bed is small.

Size of the room was nice- the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was a decent size.
When we 1st walked in the room had a smell and had to open up the window- the counter top still had crumbs on it and the bathroom tub had dirt on the bottom. I wasn’t very happy with my stay unfortunately.

Rooms are advertised as having queen sized beds, they are NOT; at most they are doubles. That was the biggest disappointment as I was sharing a bed and they are not big enough. Relatively clean, nice staff.
