    "Overall, I cannot complain about my mistake. The check-in process was a little slow. Guy behind the desk, definitely chatted up the individual before me more than he should’ve while I waited. However, that’s likely the worst of it. The room was clean, the bathroom, had a small touch of mildew, but it was nothing I could not handle. For what I paid, you really cannot beat the price for the quality of stay."
