No staff interaction after check in. Difficult to understand. The location was good for our purposes. Easy to control the room temperature. The room has had a few upgrades, but definitely was way overpriced for what it offered. Bedspread had spots. Pillows were flat. Ironing board cover wasn't even on the ironing board. Refrigerator needs to be cleaned and freezer part to be defrosted.

It's dated. But I could be ok with that, however, the toilet paper holder came out of the wall (poorly installed), cobwebs from the lamp to the ceiling. The bed was scratchy. Out of the way. DO NOT RECOMMEND
