Hotel staff was very pleasant. However, the hotel cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. I wore white socks in the hotel room and noticed they were black on the bottom before I went to bed, I also noticed items left on the floor obviously from the previous customer. I will not be going back to this hotel.
