8/10 Good
"Room was clean, comfortable bed. No hand soap in the room. Mirrors were awful to put on makeup! Breakfast was a joke, waffle maker wasn’t turned on so cold cereal, yogurt or packaged muffins. Smelly pizza box was in the hallway for two days!! Outside garbage was overflowing!! Don’t like kiosk check in!"
