Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The outside of our room smelled like sewage when we arrived. Our mattress was so old that it was tilted towards one side. The walls or windows are so thin that we could hear conversation until well into the early morning hours. The “free breakfast” is stale muffins and granola bars. Overall, definitely not a place I’ll return. Only redeeming feature was the service which was friendly and organized.
