Floor in our room was very dirty and tacky…could’ve used a good scrubbing. Our socks and feet were black after walking around for a while. Staff was very friendly and tried to be accommodating. Front desk said they were short staffed. Breakfast was very good.

It served as a place to get a few hours of sleep before continuing on our journey! Smelled of smoke, floors were dirty and sticky in our room. Didn’t shower because it looked dirty.
