Our room was very clean but smelled musty and was very damp feeling. Also beware of the entry doors here to the rooms. Both our door and a neighboring door did not close without pulling or pushing shut. The doors need adjustment to close properly. These were the only issues we experienced. It ecentually is a good place to stay.
