Travelled with family and small children
Liked: Amenities
So we stayed 2 nights, the room was great except for the fact the tub/showrr didnt completely stop the water from going to the tub while in shower mode. Then the toilet everytime you flushed, it made a horrible screaming sound for at leadt a minute after flushing. Also we needed a plunger at one point, and the staff couldnt find it. It took about an hour and a half before they finally called saying they found it. As a family of 4 with 2 small children, not having a toilet was annoying. We had to go to the lobby to use the restroom. It was the most disappointing part of our trip. Everything else was great!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The staff was great, but the room had some issues. The bathroom door wouldn't latch. Also the shower caulk definitely needs replaced/or cleaned better. The office chair wanted to tip over if you tried to sit back. The room and bed were very comfortable though. This is the perfect place for us to stay at so I hope they take care these issues.
