"The hotel is fine. The coffee tasted like the machine was dirty inside. It was terrible. The young lady at the front desk, whom I believe is Cassie, was an absolute delight. She was very. Professional and seemed to actually care about our stay. That young lady is an asset do your hotel. The room was nice and claim. Although both the toilet handle and the bathroom sink faucet handle were loose, and I was afraid they were going to fall off. They did not, but room 212 needs a little bit of care. All it all our stay was just fine."
