The room was clean for most part. Floor little dirty. The window was wide open with no screen when we arrived. Bed was made with only a sheet. No blanket or comforter. No bath towels in room. We did have had towel and wash cloth. No tissues. Remote worked part of the time. We were able to take our dog. The breakfast lady was super nice and the food had a pretty good selection. It has potential but I would not stay again.
