The Hotel needs some TLC. The staff was good but they were limited with help. They definitely did their part. The hotel needs some maintenance especially in the bathroom. The maintenance looks to be done armature at best with no sense of pride or just pressured for a quick fix. The Hotel has a lot of potential.
