6/10 Good

Room and bathroom were clean and beds were comfortable. Bathroom had no fan, or it wasn't working, so room was very humid. False alarm fire alarms went off twice both nights when I was there.

Bathroom was dirty. Could use some shelves and more hooks. Bed could use some hooks or ways to keep purse, glasses or other essentials near you when sleeping.

Great everything
The location could have not been more perfect! The staff was helpful with suggestions on where to eat. The tour company in the same building was very cost effective too!
