It is a nice place to stay, my only complaint is that the bathroom door doesn’t latch all the way. I plan to let the front desk know that when we check out.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
It was OK however we had stains on our pillow cases, the floors in 2 corners had chips on floor from the previous stayers. Under the sink area there were 2 used pool area towels. Our toilet was plugged before we got there and we were told to come to desk to get a plunger from front desk. So i guess housekeeping was more of the issue everything else was ok
