Disliked: Amenities
The lights in the exterior didn’t work so it was hard to find the room. Then the first thing I saw was a can of raid, so my husband wouldn’t go under the sheets in the bed. The room was extremely small & not like the photos on the website. Very disappointing
Friendly staff once greeted and stay overall was fine. Not 5 stars given very limited parking available and smaller rooms than what appeared in the photos.
