"The room and property was clean. We stayed here about 10 years ago, it has definitely aged and has wear and tear since then. Carpet was loose and bunched up in my room. Also fire alarm was beeping constantly. Breakfast was just okay, I would have preferred to eat in a dining area instead of the bedroom"
