Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room had a musty smell and needed cosmetic repairs. The one time house cleaning during our four night stay only consisted of new bathroom towels and dumping of garbage. No vacuuming of room was done and the dirty fold out bed sheets and blanket were just left on the floor and not replaced. Besides the good proximity to the surrounding area this hotel is a serious pass.
