Second time staying here! Staff is so friendly and willing to help. Room is much nicer than expected however, both times there were other people’s hair in shower and this time “chest hair” on the tissue box cover on the toilet tank.

Room seemed in need of touchups-rusty towel hooks, paint peeling. No safe and microwave was a bummer. While bed is comfy pillows get flat really easy. Also it was chilly in the room if you weren’t in the direction of the heat. Staff was nice and accommodating.

Wonderful front desk person (I should’ve taken her name!) Super impressed with room decor, bed was more comfortable than “big name” hotels. Unfortunately, they were understaffed in regard to housekeeping but they responded quite quickly when asked for fresh towels, etc! Definitely could use an elevator.

Shavings in bathroom sink, hair in tub, hairs on wrinkled sheets as if the bed was made without changing the sheets after the prior guest. The girl at the front desk came and cleaned the bathroom for us and gave us clean sheets and we changed the sheets ourselves on the double beds in the room. If it wasn’t so late when we arrived, we would have not stayed there.
