Liked: Staff & service
In a quiet area with a lot of businesses. The front desk was as responsive as they could be but there are issues. When we got back to our room at 9:15pm from a trip to SF the tub had dirty water in it. I went down to rhe front office but all they could do about it was offer me a plunger. It worked & cleared up the backup but no staff was present to clean the tub. This morning my son took a shower to clear it up. When it was my turn the tub started gurgling and flushed more dirty water into the tub. I could not take my shower. The room also doesn’t have kleenix, and the toilet paper is on the opposite wall from the toilet. For a small or elderly person it requires them to leave the toilet to get the wipes.

Disappointing Stay

The room is not as nice as shown in the pictures. The furniture is old, and they don't even have proper curtains for the window—just a sheer fabric that makes it easy to see through. Also, the front desk staff did not make me feel welcome. He was rude and unfriendly
