Overall, this was a decent stay. I can see how the floors might be an issue for some people—they’re made of inexpensive aluminum panels—but the room I stayed in was fairly clean. The AC and heat are definitely dated, but they did work as expected. The staff was outstanding (10/10) and the breakfast was also a solid 10/10. If needed, I would stay here again.
