The room though comfortable and clean has very dated furniture, somewhat difficult to charge devices (no USB ports anywhere) and plugs in hard to reach places. Bed side table are tiny. The room smelled a bit musty and the TV had connection issues. One the plus side - the lobby area is great and the daily included breakfast was fantastic. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
