Not perfect, but fine

I stayed for one quick night with my young son. It was fine. Nothing fancy. And a mix of results from the reviews I read. The front desk workers, and maintenance men I encounter were lovely. The room and lobby were very clean. BUT, the AC made the room muggy, and there was an issue with our shower/bath tap not turning off. (The tap was an issue of fixing something in the wall, and we found a sweet spot on the handle to make it turn off completely. Not a big deal for one night.) Also, the breakfast is not something that should be an up charge. It was very basic. Overall, for the price, it was just fine. We'll maybe stay again for a quick/cheap staycation.
