8/10 Good
"The staff is great and the hotel is quiet. It was a pleasant stay however the room was not the cleanest in my opinion. The tub had some black stains and the bathroom floor seems like it could use a good mop. The other issue was the elevator. It took forever at times and one day it was shut down. The elevator call buttons were not flush to the wall, perhaps they were working on them. But overall the stay was still pleasant."
