Good breakfast, nice property and safe area. Large suite was very roomy. The room desperately needs a deep cleaning!! Charged $150 for pet “cleaning” in a filthy room. Some of that money should be used to clean the carpet and repair appliances. My feet stuck to the carpet, had to wear shoes. The microwave barely functioned, the glass top range had areas of broken glass!! Could not use! The sofa was dirty so had to cover with our own blankets.

They definitely need maintenance. The outlets next to the bed are so loose that a charging block fell out. There are no USB ports in the room at all. The bathroom sink didn’t drain well and the toilet was hit and miss. I get not doing much with the rug or furniture because it was a pet room, but the room desperately needs an update.
