The outlet/plug for the hairdryer etc by the bathroom did not work. No conditioner in the shower. . Beds were nice very comfortable and the room was pretty clean. Breakfast was minimal. If you want cheap you’ve got it. You could see dirt in all the corners especially by the elevator. We had booked a King bed a month before and when we got there they said that they were all gone.
