More run down/dirty than I remembered
We stayed here two years ago and I remember thinking how nice, new, and clean everything was so we decided to stay here again this year. The staff were great, but the room had an astonishing amount of wear and tear compared to two years ago. The bathroom was visibly dirty - urine stains around the toilet and many hairs all over. The carpet in the room left our feet pretty dirty as well. I will say it was one of the most comfortable hotel beds I’ve ever slept in though. Overall would not stay here again.
