Basic. In the first room I got, the lock on the window was broken. The front desk person gave me a new room quickly, though. I asked for no cleaning service, but they came in and cleaned anyway while I was out. Also, they charge for parking. (I didn’t have a car, so not relevant to me, but I would have been peeved if I had a car and had to pay for parking.)
