the handle on one window in our room was broken. the window could not be closed properly. people before us must have made tea in the kettle and did not clean it. when I went to make coffee I saw an old tea bag in the kettle.

The staff was friendly. I found the service to be wonderful. The hotel has a GREAT convenient area. We enjoyed our stay.
I COULD not sleep at all on the evening of our stay. The overwhelming mold smell in the bedding was HELL. The smell was stuck on the actual duvet inner. I felt sick to my stomach.
