The staff were fine , i didn't have any issues at all with the people i interacted with. The issue was the room i was in, it was absurdly dirty. Floor, pillow cases and the comforter were littered with long black hair. Close examination of the sheets showed crusty brown marks. Which we took photos of. It was almost as if the bed was made but not cleaned. Staff was really nice and provided clean sheets and pillow cases no questions asked. This was a 2 night stay, the longer we were in the room we started we noticed a strong smell of Pee in corners of the room which we had to open windows to air out. My partner and i didn't spend much time in the room during the weekend but the time we did stay was pretty bad.

Room was somewhat clean. Shower had black mold build up that should be cleaned, replace or paint the grout and caulking around the shower to make it look clean. The bed was rather squeaky. Towels need to be replaced for more absorbent ones. The towels are super thin. but other than this it was a comfortable stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was cozy and clean. Some minor details: The room was a bit musty when we walked in, but not enough to make us reconsider our choice. The shower was tight and the shower head was poisoned low and awkwardly - I’m 5’2 and had to stand right under the water flow, I can’t imagine anyone taller than me. The heater had an awful smell - I had to open the windows to get rid of the smell which was counterproductive. The tv remote didn’t do anything other than power on/off and adjust the volume.
