I was very disappointed with my room. I have stayed here before only about two months prior and I had a nice clean room. This time the Room was very dated and unkempt. There was a knob missing from one of the drawers. I found a hair on the sheets and the bedding was very old and I wondered if it had been cleaned between guests. Very disappointed ☹️
