Bedspreads had holes in them, and I ran out of toilet paper in 2 days--no other roll was provided. Clearly that wasn't checked when they came to clean the bathroom (though it was obviously running low when I check in). Staff was super duper nice though!

We stayed for only one night. TV wouldn’t turn off without unplugging it so may need some attention. Place was clean overall except the floors had not been mopped in a while. We got the room with the kitchenette. It was a good price for the amenities.
