The room we received was very small, with a stained bedsheet and comforter, and the coffee machine still had a used pod inside—a clear sign of poor upkeep. We managed for one night, but we wouldn’t recommend it for a longer stay.

Super accommodating staff
staff (Jackie) was willing to change my room to make it easier to get to, no stairs cause I'm an older lady. Very pleasant about making changes for me. I loved that! This is very convenient for my travels in Alaska and convenient to the airport.

The room was not clean, and the bedsheets seem not to have been changed. There was a great deal of body hair in them. Gross! The toilet seat was not attached to the toilet and it fell off repeatedly. The room did not appear to have been vacuumed in a while.
