Our room was not the cleanest but not awful. Where it went bad was that we found out in the morning that one of the couples in our group left and went to a different hotel at 1:30 am because they had numerous cockroaches in their bathroom. The attached images are screenshots from a video

Our room was very clean and accessible. The front lobby/breakfast area was charming and cozy. Breakfast was adequate but minimal. Lots of granola bars. The location was convenient and easy to get to. My only complaint was that the gal at the front desk seemed a bit grumpy, but maybe she was just tired.
