Elevator was very dirty.
Carpet in room was sticky.
Bath curtain was inefficient and water got all over the floor.

The breakfast was great and the room was fine. The carpet had weird stains on it and the bathroom had extreme water damage that seems like a safety hazard.

It was a good stay but it had a few issues. The shower head was really dirty the tv remote didn’t work well and the ice machine had water all over the place so it was really dangerous to walk.
