3.5

Good - 3.5 out of 5

Verified Hotel Guest Tue, 27 February 2024

Liked: Check in was quick, the front desk hostess was friendly. Our room was clean, seem like it may have been recently renovated, except for the bathroom.
Disliked: The bathroom. There was less than an inch between the door and toilet when you closed it, the shower curtain rod was uneven so the curtain kept sliding open. The light switch over the vanity only worked when the bathroom light was on. Weird, and annoying
