Adequate Location, Subpar Cleanliness

dust accumulation blocked sink

The location proved convenient for accessing nearby attractions.

The room cleanliness was unacceptable I found dust in several areas. The bathroom sink was also blocked I attempted to fix it myself. I felt the level of service did not match the price paid.
