Disliked: Cleanliness
We ended up leaving in the night. The room smelled way too strong of cleaning solution. We aired it out for hours when we arrived (hard to breath) and went to our concert and when we returned it still was strong. Would suggest you not use what you’re using to clean room anymore. Noticed others opening windows and doors when they checked in and it was raining.

Staff was great and remodel was recent. Bed was too soft and pillows too hard. No coffee/hot water in the room. It was further from town than we thought. Kind of off by itself and close to the highway.
