10/10 Excellent
"This was our first stay in a hotel. The only thing that needs attention is the floors. Our room was clean but the carpet was not. The maid came in our room while we were in there and sprayed the bathroom floor with cleaner swepted it with a broom and wiped it up with a towel! But the people that worked at the desk was very sweet and helpful, made us feel welcomed!"
