Our stay was good, the parking lot needs cleaning or swept. Trash cans should at both ends on walkways and walkways also swept on a regular. The front desk attendant should have a more professional appearance, shirt and tie. He looked like a maintenance man not a front desk clerk.

Ok room for the price

A lot of things in the room were broken one of the TV's in the room had a broken screen and when I went to the front desk to tell them about it they just said yeah we know the only reason I rate it the way I did is because it was a decent price for the size of the room and it was clean and it is within walking distance to everything. With that being said though I will probably find another place to stay next time around
