helpful staffdated decorwall stains
the staff were friendly and helpful, which i guess is the bare minimum.
the room decor seemed dated. there were also stains on the walls, i suspect of unknown origins, and a disconcerting green emergency exit light , made sleep almost impossible. the bathroom, oh, the bathroom clearly needed a complete overhaul to meet basic standards of cleanliness and functionality
