Most staff were helpful and courteous. One front desk associate did not smile and barely spoke. The exercise room had missing weights and a non-working Peloton. The room had peeling-off wallpaper, missing bathroom tiles and an apparently leaking sink drainpipe, and food crumbs on the desk and floor.

The room could use some freshening up. The floor in the bathroom and the wallpaper and paint. The beds are comfy. The staff was very accommodating when I requested to relocate to the top floor due to early morning pounding on the ceiling. The pool area is small but nicely tucked behind so it isn't visible from the street and breakfast was ok.
