Jeffrey, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was ok for basic needs but overpriced for the type of room, breakfast bar was really basic, coffee/water machine turned off by 10pm and the property could definitely use some freshening up. Front desk Staff was pleasant. Hallways and eating area air temperature was not comfortable and had a musty odor.
