Overall it was great. Suggest identifying what is recycling and what is trash in the breakfast area, folks dumped everything in both cans. Also, the coffee makers are fancier than the quality of the coffee. A regular coffee dispenser would be quicker.

It is really sad that the owners don’t take care of the bathrooms/ repair. The wood around the sink base was cracking open because the water flows off the edge of the counter and is causing wood rot. The shower curtain smelled sour/ mildewed. There was mold in the shower. The bedroom part was comfortable enough but good grief…. Clean the dang bathroom!! There is no excuse for mold

Our room was not as clean as it could have been. The walls were not very soundproof in that we could hear the TV loud and clear from our next door neighbor as well as all the footsteps from the people above us. The breakfast was fair. The front desk associate was friendly though and the beds were comfortable.
