Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was very courteous and welcoming, so that was very much appreciated. The room itself was just OK. The flooring was nice, and the beds were comfortable. I know you get what you pay for, but the bathroom looked like it was original to the property built decades ago. It is in serious need of renovation. The ceiling above the sink was open, showing decades-old piping and crud.
