The staff in the office during check in was really nice. The outside of the rooms in parking lots had trash everywhere. When we got to room it was clean, but both beds didn’t have comforters just sheets and the lamps next to the bed didn’t work. In the restroom there wasn’t any shampoo and conditioner. Definitely won’t be staying there again.
