Nice property. The lobby is large with much comfortable seating. The staff is very personable and quite helpful. The room is big and the beds comfortable. The bath is outdated. There is shower bathtub that one must step over to get into. The fixtures are loose. The toilet is very low like a child's potty. Certainly not ADA compliant. Overall this was a nice enough place to stay.
