The place was clean and okay overall but they miss on the details... I had a water leak under the sink they said they would send someone the next morning, no one came. The shower curtain was inside out, the mini fridge had so much ice build up that I had a small pool of water on the floor, and their free in-room water bottles had one that was open and half empty.

Room was recently renovated, kind of a mix of new and old, but some things were a bit odd, like I had to hook up and configure the satellite TV box to the TV. Overall, it was just fine and comfortable.
