Clean and staff friendly. Bed mattress was not great for a king size mattress. Needs to be updated, and inside shower floor was chipping due to wear and tear. Otherwise okay to stay for the short time.

Not a great place to sleep

Tile on the base of bathroom cracked and almost falling off. Bath tub is peeling away. The layer of resin on the tub is wearing and needs to be repaired.. The king bed needs to be replaced. When I laid down on it the bed I immediately felt gravity pull me to the center of the bed due to it being broken. Either was the base of it or the mattress that was worn. It was squeaky.. plus on the head board there was a splash of something on their not sure what it was.
