Our bed was very comfortable, but the rest of the furnishings were very dated. The room and bathroom could really use an update to a higher standard. I was very surprised it wasn't nicer for $400+ a night.

Place needs some TLC. Chipped off paint, door dings. A small microwave in the room would also be nice.

Needs a serious upgrade. Carpets replaced. First room we were in was dirty and the carpet had ugly spots on it. Asked for another room and it was better. Didn't have a microwave like the first room.
