There must have been water damage tonthe floor at some point, floor in room would make noise and you could feel it move (like bubble back) when you walked on it. Bathroom door kept sticking due to floor issue and making loud noise. Beds are super soft, like you roll into each other if your sleeping with someone. Definitely needs room upgrades, im assuming thats why they only post pictures of the lobby and not of the rooms. Staff was super friendly though and nice.
