The staff was very friendly. However, we had a 2 queen room reserved and due to a hockey tournament, the only room left was a handicap room. The room did not smell good. The beds were comfortable and clean but the carpet was heavily stained and was ripped in spots. The bathroom door needed repair and the bathroom needed some freshening up. Not happy for the price we paid. The front desk guy apologized and offered a discount but couldn’t do anything since we had booked through a third party.
