They have the heat set so that when there’s no movement around the room; the heat shuts down. While you’re trying to sleep; the room is like a freezer. The women at the reception desk are so unfriendly!

The floors in the hallways were dirty. The dining option did not provide good choices for the more health conscious diner. The area surrounding the property was depressing.
