Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
We like the convenience of location, only a few minutes away from family members. What we didn’t like was we were given the wrong room from what we requested & paid for. Once it was corrected, we were placed in a room at the 4th floor where wallpaper in the hallway is peeling off and one of the lamp shades were damaged with rips. Not what we expected and definitely have not experienced before.

Would have given 5 stars other than the hot tub was broken and there was a dead small bug (assuming it was a tick) in the tub. Other than that beds were comfortable, amentities were good, and breakfast was good.
