Mixed Experience – Friendly Staff but Poor Room Cleanliness
The front desk staff was welcoming and friendly, which was a great first impression. However, the cleanliness of the room itself was disappointing. Unfortunately, the issues made for a less-than-relaxing stay.

Service was excellent, the beds were clean and very comfortable. Loved having a little kitchen. The floors and bathroom were not very clean but nothing major that bothered us. We would stay here again!
