"The whole property is way below average. Our floor had carpet being laid and the adhesive smell was bad. The room: lots of paste patches on the walls, unpainted; the bed was poor but the metal furniture, including the bedframe; the lamp did not have a bulb in it; the bathroom had a number of towels but only 1 bath tile, rest much smaller; the shower base had some mold issues at the back; the bath shower door would not close all the way, making large areas of wet tile, no matter how much we tried; there was no soap dish, so where do you lay the soap; I know, on top of the shampoo and conditioner bottles, but they aren't the cleanest and the past guest left their soap on top of the dispensers, where no staff founfyii while "cleaning". Breakfast, really bad except yogurt. Eggs were literally horrible, OJ okay, coffee useable. NOTE, the assistance in the breakfast was very good and the front desk assisted us in letting us use a table when our daughter and husband brought supper over. He wiped the table, showed us where utensils were if needed, and turned on the overhead light. It had bulbs. Overall very disappointed, but you know what do you expect in today's time. "
