The top bed was covered in who knows what. You don’t get blankets for r towels and the internet does not go to floor 2. I pod $260 in December. I am at a loss for words as to the condition of this place. It should not be rentable. I can’t believe hotels.com has this listed. I feel fooled. The ONLY thing nice about this place was the 3 staff I encountered. 2 guys that worked the desk and 1 cleaner, they were very kind polite people.
