There was a hole in the ceiling in the bathroom...looks like something tried to patch it but did a half job on it. But to have that in the bathroom...for the price that I paid for the room to me seemed kind of ridiculous. I have a pic if proof is needed

Computer system was down all afternoon… could not check in guests until making adjustments and finally giving people room keys closer to 4:00. Some folks had been in the lobby since 1:00pm… no offer of anything, water, coffee… lights stayed off in the lounge ( could have at least turned those on since many people waiting were sitting there in the dark) … front desk staff were frustrated I’m sure, but were rather rude to guests coming in the door… hopefully just an out of the ordinary occurrence… the location is great for the ballparks… 1.3 mile walk to the stadiums….

The area did not appear so great, and we were warned by locals to limit our walking. (We were plan on walking to the baseball stadium.) There are two easy and very feasible public transportation options. The pool was small and crowded, but it was a holiday weekend, so understandable. The floor near the pool/ elevator was dirty. But our room was clean, great size. Public microwave in the hall...
