Okay Stay, Some Disappointing Aspects

decent breakfastmusty smelldirty carpet
The complimentary breakfast had a decent selection.
The room smelled musty and the carpet seemed dirty. I suspect the room had previously housed pets. I did not request a pet-friendly room. The room definitely needed a deep clean and an update.
