Spacious room. A little dated but the price was right. A little disappointed with the service - you have to ask for your room to be made up during the day, otherwise they won’t do so, citing a change in policy put in place during the pandemic…

Please fix the bathroom sink in room 309. There is almost no pressure from either temperature and water leaks from the cold water handle and floods countertop. Also there were smashed ceramics on the stairs for the duration of our stay. Otherwise things were really good.

The "to go" breakfast was not my cup of tea. I would recommend adding yogurt or something with protein in it.

Poor service
It was almost 100 degrees in the room when we checked in. Got ready for dinner while sweating waiting for the room to cool down. Light above the sink was so dim my wife couldn’t even put her makeup on. Our frig stunk like unions. Foul smell. Middle of the night we had AC on but then all of a sudden at 2am the AC starting making loud sounds and stopped cooling and smelled like burned wires so we unplugged and opened the windows. When checking out I brought this up to the front desk lady and she hardly even recognized my concerns and just said thanks for letting us know.
