friendly staff roomy suite clothes washer dirty carpet old furniture limited service
The front desk staff was friendly and helpful! Our two-room suite was roomy and well appointed. The kitchen included a dishwasher and clothes washer and dryer.
The carpets were very dirty. Living room furniture could use replacement, and the coffee machine in the lobby was difficult to get to. Clean towels or service were only provided one day during our three-night stay
