No towel bars, no toilet paper holder, no iron but an iron board. Clerk said there is a coffee maker in the room, but no. Remodeled, but hasty craftsmanship. The sink was a troth with no counter space. Could have been better thought out. I was too busy to reach out to the clerk for said coffee maker or iron, but I shouldn’t have to. The check out clerk was nice and probably would have answered these questions if I had the time. The hood is a little hard to figure out. It’s kind of trying but also sketchy.

Management was okay. Room was clean. Bathroom door won’t fully open, due to poorly installed. Door hits toilet. Makes it very difficult to get in and move around.
Door to room doesn’t seal properly, light from outside is visible.
Very noisy outside with little consideration for those trying to rest.
