I do not like how the TV works. I had to get help twice before they explained how it worked. Also they supply coffee in the room, but no decaf or tea. My bathroom had no good lighting for putting on makeup.

my partner and I stayed here for about a week. It’s somewhat nicer than other places in the area. The bed was not very comfortable. Biggest complaint is the customer service is horrible. Absolutely zero hospitality. We wouldn’t want to stay here again.
