Underwhelming Room Condition
friendly staffworn leather
The staff seemed very friendly during my brief stay. It met my basic needs.
The room was not properly cleaned before my arrival, a suite, and I noticed the chairs looked quite worn. The leather was peeling off the arms. It was quite noticeable.
