The only issue was our sink and toilet had some issues but other than that it was a perfect place to stay over night!
1-night trip

4/10

Check in was friendly and quick but when we got to the room there was someone already occupying it and it was a mess. So very concerning that the front desk gave us keys to a room that someone else was in. Although they were apologetic, if I was the occupant of the room or if I was by myself I would have been very uncomfortable knowing someone was able to walk into my room
