The TV and the phone did not work in our room. My husband fixed the TV as it was not plugged in. The main desk gave us another remote that did hot work at all. When we left the phone still did not work. Apparently there is no maintenance during the weekend. It is frustrating to have to deal with these issues after a long day of travel.

The breakfast muffins were horrible. The worst part was the trash truck coming at 5am and backing up and dumping the the large trash bin. Also, the morning reception person was inattentive and not friendly
