"Beds weren’t too comfortable but the room was overall pretty clean. There were pieces of hair here and there in the bathroom. The room smelt of really strong bleach unfortunately and there was no switch to turn on the bathroom fan to try and air it out and the window didn’t open either. The hotel is very small and isn’t in a super scenic location but it was fine for the one night trip we had. We reserved the double queen and it was a good size with a small fridge, working AC, and lots of closet...
