Toilet cycled all night because the float needed replacement. The Heat/Air unit would not function as normal operation due to the fan kept trying to run creating disturbing noises. The room was clean, however, severely lacking in maintenance which did not arise on my overnight stay and is gross neglect on Facility Management.

Room temperature was ok. Seemed humid though despite having air conditioner on. I think the sheets and bedspread could do with an update but otherwise ok. The breakfast did leave something to be desired. Fresh fruit or scrambled eggs with bacon or sausage would have been good too. I did appreciate the fresh orange juice. It was not watered down like most places. The bar was a nice surprise as we have stayed here many times and it wasn't there before. After a long day, it was nice to come in and sit down and have a beer for $1.50. JP was a wonderful bartender.
