The room felt dirty. The carpet was black from stains and matted. After calling the front desk for the bathroom to be cleaned and told someone would do this, nobody ever showed up. There was also no body soap - container was empty and you can’t get anything (towels, soap) if it’s after 11am. We did not enjoy our stay.

Everything went well when we arrived. The guy at the front desk was super helpful I forgot his name. The room was ok. There was no body wash, the heater wasn’t working, and the shower was clogged. We informed it to the front desk to the same guy the next day and he got it all sorted out when we came back to the room. He let us check in early so that worked out over the other things to me. Overall it was a good stay.
