The one star is for the comfort of the bed which was tripled sheeted with nice linen. The carpeted area was vacuumed and dusted. The refrigerator, microwave, cooling unit and coffee pot were working and clean.
However, the tiled area was not. The tub and shower unit had a thick encrusted line of black mold where the bottom unit joins the wrap around shower panels. It appeared as if that entire joint was never caulked properly and the water has infiltrated the wall board causing a black mold breeding ground. I called for house keeping to remove the offending health hazard but he failed to fully rectify the issue. I purchased Clorox cleaner and a stiff brush and I removed all the visible mold by scrubbing and rinsing with jot water until cleared. I then found black mold build up inside the rim of the toilet and in the overflow hole in the sink. I repeated the cleaning process until gone. The baseboard tiles in this area had build up of dirt and dust, as well as, in the corners. There was a glob of liquid foundation behind the commode that was easily washed away with bleach and water. The back of the shower/toilet room door had traces of this makeup too. Easily wiped off.
The most frustrating part of this 4-night stay was the housekeeping staff not once cleaned the tub nor the toilet.
Beware that the train tracks are elevated just beyond the back fence and the noise is significant. I don't mind this sort interruption as there were no whistle blowing events.
Front desk staff were polite but lack any authority it appeared to me. Supposedly the management was made aware of our dissatisfaction but made no attempt to rectify anything.
