not the worst but not the best
it was not a bad stay. but when i took a shower there was barely any water pressure then I go to get a towel unfold it and it was dirty. not stains but actually been used and refolded and put back. it was gross. I did complain to the front desk person and she said they must have forgotten to take it out of the room.. ummm no if you literally folded it it wasn't forgotten. Otherwise the room was good. the bed was comfortable. the morning food was cold not up to temp.

We liked the convenient location, comfortable beds, good water pressure and plenty of hot water in the shower. The air conditioning worked great, and there was also a decent variety of free breakfast options. We didn’t get a chance to use the pool, but it looked like it was clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would stay here again if in the area in the future.
