Little America Hotel
I wanted to give you a 5 star but the room chairs had a lot of stains(I cleaned with bathroom towel ) and bathroom floor was sticky. The stains on the wall behind the headboard did not help. This is our 3rd time staying here and definitely prefer the tower over garden rooms. Thank you!
