Our stay was great. Our room is spacious, and clean. The best part was we were given two rooms which the second room was a complimentary because the room that I reserved had a leak. Great experience!!

Dirty and black hairs in bed
There were black hairs in the bed. Called the front desk which seemed annoyed and they brought up sheets which I changed myself. The front desk person was clearly overwhelmed but when I’m paying 170 plus dollars I at least want clean sheets. The room smelled like mold. It was less than one star all around
