The sheets were clean. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom seemed to have been cleaned. However the grout was stained and the walls of the bathroom had mold from the ceiling to 1/3 of the way down the walls. The whole place felt grubby due to the age of everything and the staining on the walls and ceiling. Staff were friendly enough. Parking was easy. I couldn’t stay again, it didn’t bother my husband.
