Exercise room not ideal

What kept me from giving this a better rating is that the exercise room had a temp of 74. That is why to hot when what you have available is a bike, treadmill, and an elliptical. I could not get the screens to work on the treadmill to be able to watch anything while on it.

We had a 2 night stay here over the weekend. I would say overall everything went great. Our room was great. It smelled clean & was very well maintained. The only negative was our boys wanted to take a bath & the drain was missing in the tub. The breakfast was so good too! The food actually tasted delicious! There was only 1 elevator & it broke down twice. Once while we were there waiting with our luggage to check out. Staff said this happens every day. So that was alittle scary, but overall the stay was really great!

We arrive late and after waiting 5 min for a worker to help us check (@2 am) we needed to call the hotel to reach someone for check in. The employee answered the phone in her car outside of the front door.

Bathroom sink was very slow to drain and when I first got in the room and tried washing my hands a bunch of men’s beard shavings came up in the sink. There were holes in the shower area. Toilet would run forever when flushed. Rest of the room was clean enough but the air conditioning was cold it also felt stuffy. It was weird.
