Rooms could definitely be cleaned better. There was literally mold in the shower. The staff was friendly, however, I had my daughters pink palm puff pajama outfit that she just got for her birthday stolen which was HIGHLY upsetting. So if you do laundry here, keep an eye on it or don't put anything of value unattended, that goes for in the laundry area OR in your room.

Friendly staff. Rooms are comfortable and well equipped with all you need from heating a meal to clean up afterwards. Shower was refreshing with plenty of hot water and awesome pressure...like standing under a waterfall!
