Very spartan. Window needs a wooden dowel to lock. The one positive note is the shower head. It is very good.

Better than expected

This was the cheapest room I could find for the weekend, I’ve stayed at others near by they were more expensive and a let down so I was nervous. Happy to report I really was pleased with my stay and would stay there again the the future. Check in was easy and quick, I like that they have a list of rules in the room to make this transparent, my feet weren’t black after walking around the room barefoot, ac worked fine. There was some construction noise going on next door early am but it wasn’t anything overwhelming, at least during my stay. Love that they leave an extra towel and pillow in the room, as well as a blow dryer. Love that they have a fridge and microwave provided in the room. Love that they have a bath/shower combo and not just a shower(at least in the room I was in). I see other reviews had mentioned how the drive way is to small. While it is a narrow entrance/exit, I never experienced it being busy and rally didn’t see it as an issues at all. The room was clean but there are little touches they could add to for simple comfort like better shower heads. I also enjoy would have enjoyed the option of an extra blanket, I run cold so I appreciate that option.
