The room was spacious enough for two people. it provided everything someone could want. the staff were friendly and helpful.
the room walls needed a freshen up in a couple areas. i noticed this because everywhere else was clean. it was a minor issue, though i think it should be fixed.

the breakfast was acceptable and filling.
The room was way too hot, and it was impossible to sleep with the window open because of the noise. There was commercial noise at 5:30 a.m. the mattress was lumpy. I found cobwebs and the shower grouting was filthy, which i really did not appreciate.
