Staff were friendly, rooms were clean. The issue is no matter how clean the rooms are the smell of mold/old doesn’t go away.

Disliked: Staff & service
The facility is fine, nice beds (awful pillows) nice bathroom, nice room lay out. Carpet in room old and musty, room musty smelling. Fridge and microwave work fine. Glorified motel standard. Gym is bare bones but effective. Breakfast is simple lots of cereal, bagels, pasteries, and fruit. No eggs or protein items (some sugar yogurts there). No sleep timer on remote (something I like to have), lots of channels avaliable.
