The room was dingy but appeared ok. the beds looked tired. I can live with all that. However, upon our return from our event, late in the evening, we discovered the towels and the bed were dirty! YUCK! We slept on top of one of the beds rather than in it. I will not stay again with you and i would respectfully ask for a refund of my funds.

Room was clean but very dated. Bedding and pillows were clean and comfortable, AC unit worked well but i was allergic to something in the room, sneezed allot, not sure if it was mold or animal related. Carpeting was worn and older, not all lamps had power outlets and USB charger ports, lamps had some surface rust, microwave and refrigerator worked well, very nice tv. There was a pull out bed from a couch, but we did not use it. Iron and ironing board were good and usable. Ice machine was nearby outdoors. Our stay was fine but for the money, we would probably look elsewhere.

Tv did not work and the woman at the front desk was of no help. The room left little to be desired. Lots of mold, the ac was full of it. The room in general was damp. If you can stay elsewhere I would.
