Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Room was clean, staff were very pleasant. My only suggestion is to fix doors so they close all the way. My particular door you had to pull and push a little to make sure. I had gone to breakfast and somehow even though I pulled it closed it didn’t quit click/align. Breakfast could use a little more pizzazz but the kind gentleman tending to it made up for that. I would definitely stay there again.

The staff were great, friendly and accommodating...the room however was not very clean. Garbage (including a pill of some kind) was under the chair when we moved it, the walls had splatters of something on them both in the room and in the bathroom and the floor in the bathroom was pretty gross.
