Stinky and could use a little love.
Great location but the room was not so great. Wouldn’t take much to make sure the rooms had a little love like re-caulking the tub and sink. Also, the room smelt pretty bad…

There was a handwritten note welcoming us to the hotel room. It made me feel the hospitality and pride of the housekeeping staff. When we called the front desk for an issue with the tv reception, they we helpful and quickly responded.
