Happy face iconLiked: Staff & service, amenities
The staff was really nice. Pillows were soft and comfortable. However, the property could use some maintenance, upgraded paint and carpet. We were on a non-smoking floor and the first thing we smelled when we got out of the elevator was pot. We got into our room and were then hit with a wave of musty oder after opening the door. We had to fix the shower handle in order to get it to turn from cold to hot so that we could take a shower. We were only there for a few hours before waking up to go to the park so didn't call anyone because we just needed sleep.
