Some toilets must be cheaper to buy, but they just don't work that well. This is one of those those. You have to ..."

"Staff was great. Only downfall was no tv reception for the first 2 hours after my check in. Front desk said it was because it was raining hard. Once the rain stopped, I got reception. Tried to take a bath while I was waiting for the tv to work and only had lukewarm water. Was disappointed."
