The room was decent. However, the facility needs maintenance and repairs. The elevator does not consistently work and needs to adjusting at times to close the door. The service record was not listed in the elevator, so I’m not sure the last time it was checked. Also, the breakfast was not the best. Coffee was not available either of the mornings, and the food was inedible at times.

Make sure your room is clean

The room was very dirty. You could tell it hadnt been cleaned. Staff was amazing though. Even though for one night the room should be cleaned.

NO HOT WATER

Terrible, NO HOT WATER !!! After a long day and wanting a few hours sleep and a hot shower, awoke to NO HOT WATER. Not enough time to try and have them resolve. TERRIBLE START for the day. Next time, I'll stay at the Hampton INN next door (stayed there before with no issues)
