Good for cost and close to ballpark. Fridge smelled of garlic and there were some cleanliness issues in room but not awful.

The counter in the room dressing area had not been wiped down when we got there. It was sticking and had crumbs on it. I washed it all down with a wash clothe. Otherwise the place was clean and neat inside and out
