The staff provided good service. They paid attention to our needs.

I found black mold at the base of the face basin. It surrounded the entire fixture. The toilet also smelled quite bad each time I entered the room. The bed sheets did not smell fresh. They had a thick bleach scent. Some light switches had food stains.
