"The staff was wonderful, and helpful. The room seemed clean. There were some improvements in the room, but it was lacking a lot. There was no USB port for me to plug in to charge my phone. No clock. I had to go to the front desk to get a TV remote. The shower curtain rod was loose, so the curtain wouldn't hang right and the floor got wet."
