Stayed here before that room was great that’s why I came back. This time the room is horrible stains on the wall, wall paper peeling, a/c/heater sounded like it has marbles in it. Mini fridge never got cold no microwave. When I checked in the staff was great. I’ll say something when I check out. Disappointed….
