The room door felt flimsy when it was closed. The vent unit smelled when it blew, and there was mold on the ceiling. The rooms could use an update for sure. The bathroom was good. It's crazy that there is no refrigerator in the room. That is a big letdown. Beds were comfy and clean. The restaurant was fine, but with only one server, things went a bit slow.
