John

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness
The room we were in the first night was dirty, there was a dirty towel in the bathroom, there was grease splattered on the stove top and the kettle sitting on the stove and there was dust on the stove hood. They moved us for the second night and the room had an odd smell in it. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We’ve had worse but we won’t stay at this property again.
