The room was clean, no problems with the staff. But the morning breakfast is non-existent. Not a problem with a Keurig machine and a microwave in the room, but still something to consider.

The beds were clean, the room was warm when we got there. The floor had stuff on it (I'm assuming tracked in by the cleaning staff) but I was wearing slippers so it was fine.
