an adequate stay, some issues noted

helpful staffdated decorloose shower bracket
the staff were helpful upon arrival. they quickly addressed a minor request.
The room felt quite dated (i suspect it was last updated some time ago). there was a noticeable layer of dust on some surfaces. I saw dust on the headboard. also, i found the shower bracket to be loose on the bathroom wall, a definite safety concern.
