Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The staff was great, but the room had some issues. The bathroom door wouldn't latch. Also the shower caulk definitely needs replaced/or cleaned better. The office chair wanted to tip over if you tried to sit back. The room and bed were very comfortable though. This is the perfect place for us to stay at so I hope they take care these issues.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
We like the convenience of location, only a few minutes away from family members. What we didn’t like was we were given the wrong room from what we requested & paid for. Once it was corrected, we were placed in a room at the 4th floor where wallpaper in the hallway is peeling off and one of the lamp shades were damaged with rips. Not what we expected and definitely have not experienced before.

Nice breakfast with nice variety of foods and drinks.Nice size room. Bed comfortable. Couch and footstool worn and in need of recovering or replacement.

Will stay again

Would have given 5 stars other than the hot tub was broken and there was a dead small bug (assuming it was a tick) in the tub. Other than that beds were comfortable, amentities were good, and breakfast was good.
