Could have been better

Things didn't start great as I got there about 45 minutes before check in time (3pm) and was told my room would be ready at 3. I fully understand rooms need to be turned over and normally this would have been fine - but my car was the only one in the whole parking lot. I find it hard to believe it was a housekeeping issue and not just a "full policy issue". The next day the free breakfast was lacking coffee (pretty key part of breakfast) due to a water issue. In all, it was a bed and good size room so it checked the basic requirements and was mostly clean but definitely not one I'd choose to stay if had other options.

Overall, OK for one night. Staff was not present when arrived at 7PM. Rug in front of elevator had what appeared to be food scraps on it. Room was small, clean, but smelled of Clorox. Bathroom floor had cleaning product on part of it. Is close to airport. Friendly staff.

Light was intermittently turning on and off in the middle of the night. This was not resolved or compensated because my room was through Expedia. Had an 8 hr work day and 5 hr drive home to follow my restless evening.
