The front desk staff were EXCELLENT!!! Amazing customer service.. actually every staff member I encountered were very nice!!! The room was very clean. The rooms are truly clean but they are dated… the problem with the rooms have nothing to do with the staff it’s above them. Looks like they tried to do a renovation but it was half baked… they have mold … the bathroom ceiling had mold… this place has a lot of potential and is in a very good location … Upper Management just needs to really renovate those rooms one by one so they can look and feel updated… the staff, breakfasts, amenities , location and cleanliness of the rooms are to be commended!!
