Room 206. Like: Property had a good structure, well lay out and airy. Plus with the recent remodeling the full room that elevated the room quality significantly. Room was spacy. Bed was comfortable. Dislike: Bed base was a sheet metal wrap around that make noise and echo noise when my feet hitting the frame. Note sure why the facility chose this material that might cause pain if guest hit it harder. Bed sheets were older and had existing stain. Bath towels were mixed of old and new. Continental breakfast had one waffle maker that takes 2.5 min. Guests lined up in queue. Adding a second maker might be best. Coffee quality could be better. Overall, I would like to grade 4.5 star for the experience.

Breakfast was amazing. Room had a very musty smell. I wanted to open the window in the bathroom, but it was so caked with dirt I couldn’t bring myself to touch it. The rest of the room was mostly clean. Walls and ceiling are very thin. Don’t plan on sleeping much if you are a light sleeper.
