From desk pleasant. Place looked dated. Room was comfortable and clean. The shower was dirty/ stained. I chose not to shower there. Ceiling above the shower was peeling. If it were not for the shower, I would have been very satisfied given the price point.

The bathroom was very out dated. The shower curtain smelled like mildew which created a smell throughout the entire room . The wall behind bed had a large dark stain on it .. not sure if it was soda , coffee or something worse . The personal hygiene products that they offered were very small amounts and not impressed with the brand. And - we could not get onto the WiFi the entire stay. We were very unsatisfied with our stay here.

Because we were traveling with a dog, we stayed in the pet area. The room was worn and smelled like air freshener rather than cleaners. I was bitten by fleas during our stay (and it wasn't our dog),
