We didn’t eat the breakfast because we slept pretty late, I was very surprised to wake up to a dark room after 10am-the blackout curtains were a tremendous gift….. the bed on the other hand wasn’t very comfortable. My husband and I both woke up hurting so bad from the uncomfortness of the bed….. that was the only downfall… besides the bath faucet being backwards(cold was hot and hot was cold), but that was able to be fixed once we realized it.
This was taken out of the mattress protector after we got in the covers…… felt something hard and pulled this yucky thing out.

No the hair dryer was filthy ( I had to wipe it off before using) and I’m not sure it’s ever been wiped down! Dead roach in bathroom floor and roach carcass in corner of bathroom behind toilet. Live bug, NOT sure what kind was crawling out of suitcase that was on the suitcase rack in room. The ac worked but noisy. On the positive side the check in was easy and friendly and it was very quiet.
