NO laundry facilities

Despite the description, there are NO laundry facilities in the hotel or nearby. Felt duped, but other than that the hotel was clean and staff was courteous. Parking is a block away.

Room 212

Stayed in room 212 and the whole floor is in desperate need of repair and replacement. It’s in such bad shape you can barely walk on it. Advised the front upon check out.
