Parking convenient. Room very clean. Bathroom looks like it was recently renovated. Bed comfortable. Credit card machine not working, so had to pay in cash, but he gave us a small discount for the trouble. No lamps bedside—only light was a very bright light above the bed, which caused a glare on the TV. No Kleenex.
