The staff was friendly and the room was clean and comfortable but only one of two elevators worked the entire 5 night stay and the “working” elevator would not operate on occasion. The vending machines required exact change and although equipped with card readers the readers said they “were not able to accept cards at this time.” The property fell short of expectations.
