"The room was horribly humid the whole 2 day stay. They don't refresh towels and linens at all, we had to ask for them at the desk. The carpet in the room was sticky and nasty to walk on and should be replaced. The staff were nice, but should have cracked down on the screaming kids running around the halls."
