Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Clean, comfortable large room and bathroom. Furniture is worn and needs updating. Liked the big windows, bed comfy. Only one elevator working, we’d walk down stairs and I’d wait for the elevator going up…kids would walk up. Not a big deal for us, but if you rely on it could take a while or be very crowded. Breakfast was ok, not a lot for price paid. Staff person forgot my latte and I had to ask about it after three people behind me in line got their drinks.

The bathroom (including the toilet) is see-through. Even if you love your spouse, don't you want privacy in the loo? We were on the second floor and it was noisy from the party-goers. Service when checking-in and out was sub-par.
