Check in was easy. No elevator. Shower handle was missing trim piece so there was a big hole underneath. Sheets were soft and bed was comfy. Could have used a complimentary bottle of water.

Basic room for a single night business stay. This is a slightly out-dated property with the sink area separated from the tub/shower and toilet. There are no USB outlets in the room; bring electrical outlet adapters. There is also no elevator.

The 2 chairs in the room need to be replaced. The cushion chair had stains on both sides of the cushion and I felt the springs when I sat down, The chair at the desk appears to be unstable. It reclies back when I lean back and feels like it is on a pivot.

Could have been better

The breakfast ran out of eggs and low on potatoes both days. The 2nd day they had to come fix television because it had been disconnected. The check-in gentleman was very helpful.
