The room was all right , clean. The over all impression I got after finding out the restaurant Connected was closed and the laundromat closed as well, was this place is struggling. Would personally rate it a 4/10. Vending machines are empty and no ice buckets . We booked thing we had a room with a table and chairs outside but we were inside at the end of an old dark hallway. Needs some definite loving and maybe a few updates.

Dirty carpets and bed bugs

Staff were friendly. Room smelled like cleaner but the carpets had crusty stains on them and look like they had never been cleaned. Bedding looked clean but I woke up to bed bugs!!
