Perfect for what we needed. The woman at the front desk who was ALSO running around the dining area during breakfast didn’t miss a neat. I wish I remembered her name. She surely took so crap but with all the grace in the world. Definitely need more staff. Hall was dark and a bit musty, sink water smelled of sulfur when turned on, stained “dust ruffles” on one of the beds.
