Over all it was a pleasant stay. Staff was great and helpful. The room was comfortable, but there were areas of the carpet that did not seem to get cleaned. The shower head pipe was not secured and would move around when trying to adjust the direction of the water.

Exceptionally clean and quiet. Room was in excellent condition and no equipment issues. Heating and cooling were excellent. Only fault was lack of hot water to the room over a 3 day period. Could only get like warm after 10-15 minutes.
