Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Bed was very comfy and vibe overall was good! Staff were wonderful. However, the room was very outdated and smelled of mildew and urine heavily during the stay. I also felt uncomfortable closing the bathroom door the entire way because there was a dark liquid stain that began at the top of the door and ran to the floor. I wanted to love this place because it was so cute, the staff were absolutely wonderful, and the location was great. But I was very worried about the overall cleanliness.
