The room was better than I expected. I was quite pleased! The only issue, one of the towels had a dirty spot on a corner that was folded in- as if it had been rubbed on a dusty surface before being folded, or maybe the back of the shelf was dusty. Wasn’t a big problem.

The door would not fully close, the toilet did not flush, the TV has 30inputs but no way to switch to any of them and the bed was rock hard.

Room was acceptable. I always laugh at the use of plywood instead of box springs for the bed, which means the mattress slides around like crazy. Also wish they did 3 pillows per bed, rather than 2, and had an extra blanket in the room, but it was clean, and shower pressure was wonderful.
