We were dissatisfied with our room. The blinds were broken, and we could not block out any light at night. Also the shower door inside handle was missing making it very hard to shut the door when showering. Lucky I'm tall enough to reach over the top. The outlets on the nightstands were very lose and worn out. It made it very hard to charge any electronic device. Room needs to be updated.
