There is a need for maintenance at this hotel. There were several issues with our room from lights burnt out to plug-ins not working. Elsewhere there were out of order signs. However, having said that, the room was clean, big and the beds comfortable. While I did have to wait at the desk for the attendant to come, she was friendly and helpful.

Sink was clogged and took 20 mins to drain, the AC is preset so no matter what temp you set it on, it’s always going to run at what ever temp they have it set on, be prepared to put a 100.00 incidentals on your card, was woke up at 8:30am by room service to clean my room even though check out wasn’t until 11am. It was priced well, and it was clean. I will give it that.
