Decent Stay Near the Parks

restocked coffeeclean roompeeling paintworn carpet
The room was right next to my friends, which I requested when checking in. I appreciated that the room was cleaned and the coffee was restocked daily.
The hotel seemed a bit outdated. I noticed peeling paint on the lobby ceilings. The worn out carpet in the guest rooms was also noticeable.
