Walked in the building and dirt everywhere
Towels being used to hold the main hallway doors open
Hair all over the shower
Mattress protector really needs to be replaced.
The facility just needs someone who cares

This property was more than I expected for the price I paid. The room was very clean and showers were hot the way I like them. The air conditioner worked well enough to keep the room cool. The main hallways can use come carpet care and air freshener but for the price its a minor detail. I would recommend this place to people passing through and just need some where to sleep for the night.

I liked the staff and some of the few amenities they had such as the flat screens, mini fridge and AC and laundry facility. However our bathroom door wasn't even able to latch and there was only one full size bath towel even though we reserved the room for two adults
