The room needed to be remodeled. The light switch in the bathroom was broken and you couldn't shut it off, the board on the bathroom were rotted out, the tile in the little kitchen area kept flipping up if you stepped closer to the edge, the AC didn't work very well at all and squeaked a lot. We also didn't get our room cleaned when we asked for it to be cleaned. Also asked for towels and they never came. Had to go get a set of towels. Stayed in a queen Suite, we will stay at another hotel if we are back in the area.

When they came to clean our room they only picked up our used towels & emptied the garbage. They forgot to leave us any clean towels. Nothing was wiped down , vaccumed, or sheets changed in 4 days. Needless to say that Housekeeper is no longer at this hotel. Great breakfast, I would probably book here again.
