adequate but flawed stay
hard mattress poor housekeeping
The bed was quite uncomfortable. The mattress felt too hard. also, i noticed some issues with cleanliness. there were a few spiders above the bed throughout my stay, and housekeeping could have been more attentive to details. these things detracted from my experience a bit.

Excellent Stay, Great Amenities!!!
spacious room great seating
My room was spacious and very clean. The seating area was great. I also found many power outlets, convenient. The bathroom offered great lighting and wonderful water pressure.
The soap dispenser was completely empty. Its position was also incorrect for someone in a wheelchair. The shower curtain's length was insufficient.
