Acceptable Stay

cute staffaccessible locationmissing air conditioningmany stains

The staff were very cute. The hotel was clean and I could take my sister's dog. I thought that was a good amenity. The location was easily accessible, and there was plenty of parking available.

My room lacked air conditioning. I felt the room was noisy when the window was open. It was too hot to keep the window closed though. There were stains all over the ceiling and walls in the room.
