Over all nice but needs some maintenance

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The heat in th rooms was very hot (had to open windows that had no safety measures for falling out) and seemed out of th guest’s control. There was no coffee in th rooms.

The hotel needed updating. My bathroom mirror was cracked on the edge and the cabinet was off its hinges. I took photos I was in room 640 if they’d like to fix these issues.
