We enjoyed the staff they were very kind and accommodating but the breakfast was not good, the bedding had some questionable marks on them. I will say the rooms were very spacious and had plenty of extra pillows which was nice and the beds were actually comfortable. It was just rough for a $200 a night room.

Gross

The floors, oh my gosh, the floors, they were the most horrendous condition. There were spots, stains, spills, and drips of stuff from lord knows how many guests ago. It was hard to get comfortable knowing how disgusting they were. We noticed the daily cleaning crew cart never had mops or buckets but they certainly should be on every cart for a proper cleaning because our feet were BLACK
