Room a little musty. And it's a close tie for my primary concern. One is the second floor door in the stairwell had no handle so you were unable to enter the second floor from the stairwell. The next day there was a handle on the door though it was not functionable. I'm pretty sure this may be fire code related. And the other close to primary concern is that someone entered my room while my do not disturb tag was hung. While emergency entrance is acceptable... it is not acceptable if you don't notify the guest that you did so. The built in receptacles for each light fixture over the two bedside tables struggled to maintain contact with my three prong cord so that charging was "on" and "off". Coffee maker didn't work. Don't think I'll be returning to this one.

Several issues with. No hot water, no place to put toiletries. Just a few basic TV stations, nothing good for a traveler. The worst was the incessant banging noise til 1am , near a club. Couldn't sleep. Breakfast was bland, reminded me of school cafeteria food.
