Parking area was fine. It was quiet. Shower curtain was torn and had holes (7 counted). Curtain rod (curved rod), was only holding by 2 screws, causing the rod to hang down in the middle and the curtain to slide to the center allowing water to spray on the floor. I have no idea how this happens, but bathroom exhaust fan drew in a foul odor the longer it ran. Restroom toilet in breakfast area didn't fill after flushing. Notified desk of issues, said that would fix but didn't seem too worried about them. Room was clean and blackout curtains on windows made sleeping in very nice. It was quite outside. Overall our stay was ok but it was the details that were lacking.

The person who checked was not there. The person who checked me in chargef my credit card for $100 deposit when I had already paid for the room. The deposit is usually $50 dollars. The sink was totally stopped up and the wheel was broken off the chair so we could not sit in it
