Pros +

The breakfast staff
The breakfast was good and staff was friendly
1 bed/clean sheets,1 bed/damp.

Cons -

Smell, dirty room B U G S in the room
The bed needs a new matress. My husband and I slept apart because there were two sink holes in the bed. One on each side. If I tried to lay next to him I would roll back into my side of the bed. Lol.
Staff member did not want to honor my confirmed room choice. It was late when I checked in and just wanted to go to my room not stand at the desk in front of another guest that also had a room choice issue and debate my confirmation for a king room.
