Staff was nice. The room was OK, but with two queen size beds difficult to navigate at times. The mattresses could use a refresh as well. The location was the best part, three blocks from my family‘s home.

The jetted tub had black mold on filters and jets as well as on the shower curtain. When turning on the hot water, it took about 10 minutes to get warm. It would have been nice to have a better description of the tub, the pictures posted does not do it justice. Bed quality could be better and pillows were very flat.
