to many maintenance issues.

I have now stayed at this particular location three times this last of which was not pleasant. I have noticed they need a lot of maintenance around the facility that seems to be a consistent issue. The shower was malfunctioning with loose handles causing the tub to fill up while showering. I asked to be put in another room which was not granted. My iron was malfunctioning as well. The elevator was also down for my second-floor room which was also annoying for this stay.

The property was nice and the staff were professional and friendly. The elevator was out of order during my stay. That wasn't a nig deal, however, the hot water was not working on my last day. That was an inconvenience, but overall I had a nice stay.

My stay was perfect for me. Although the third floor smelled a bit musty my room was fine once I cut the air on. The elevator was also broken but the customer service over shadowed any downsides. I did not catch her name but she was lovely, the tall woman with short hair and the boastful voice! ❤️
