I haven’t been here since late 2019 and was surprised that it’s not as kept up as it used to be. The gal at the front desk was very friendly & helpful. The pool needs a good cleaning it looks a tinge off color. The room is comfortable, but needs some TLC. As the furniture is starting to look worn. The room for the most part was clean, but the floors were gritty and it smelled like cigarette smoke. I took a damp hand towel and wiped the floors. The towel ended up a grungy gray. They need to have their cleaning people at least use a sponge mop to clean the floors. Just because it’s not carpet that needs vacuuming doesn’t mean it doesn’t need cleaning.

The doors need sealing because if someone it’s smoking gets in the room and it’s so sticky 😉
