"The front desk staff member was very friendly and helpful. The room was nice, but the bathroom could use some upgrades. The caulking around the tub was a little stained and dingy. The showerhead was a suction cup style and it kept falling off. Overall the bathroom was fine it just needs some TLC. The breakfast was fair. Nothing too fancy, but good at this price point. I would definitely stay here again."
