Staff was top notch. Room was clean and a good value for 5 of us, but there were drawbacks that would probably keep us from staging again. Beds were hard, squeaky, and pillows needed updating. Blackout curtains would be a vast improvement. Overall it was fine, but the details kept it from being awesome.
