Ice machine did not work. Room really could use a chair other than the desk chair. The stair at the end put you in a dirt, rock and sand area. A walkway would be nice. The room was very comfortable and clean. Bed was good. I would recommend it

The staff was respectful and responsive to our requests. The shower stall was too small and the shower head was not movable, so we needed to turn off the water to soap up and then turn back on the shower to rinse. The ice machine was not working. The remote for the TV needed new batteries that were replaced promptly. The pipe under the bathroom sink leaked so there was a waste basket under it to catch most of the water.
