Everything was good. I had an issue with the lock box in the room. It was fixed but it took me asking multiple times. Also, there was not breakfast one morning, although it may have been due to the winter storm.

I stayed here because it had really good reviews like 8.2 stars out of 10. It wasn’t horrible but it was not the cleanest or in the best shape. 6 out of 10 stars would be more accurate
