No amenities like a refrigerator or microwave. We were there for three nights and our room was never cleaned or restocked with towels. Coffee shop opened over an hour and a half late one morning. On the upside, its very convenient to downtown.

We were given a handicap room and I don't know why. The watier in the "happy hour" space was spacy. He jogged by and dropped off menus, no napkins or coasters for our drinks. Breakfast corner employee was also a bit overwhelmed, took a long time to do anything. A free breakfast buffet would have been much appreciated.
