Not recommended

Housekeeping did not appear to be working. Bar advertised but only open 2 days/ week per staff. Not open Friday night. Terrible. No ice machine. No elevator. Horrible mattress. Concave. Plenty of parking.

The room needed much better lighting. It was very difficult to read except right in bed next to those lamps. Also, towel bars in the bathroom would allow guests to hang up their wet towels and not need clean towels every day.
