"Staff was accommodating. Room was clean and beds were comfortable. Convenient parking. Nice breakfast. Exercise room was clean and had the equipment I use daily. The only con was figuring out how to control room temperature. Room signage instructed us to use the thermostat on the wall, but it was nonfunctional. Controls on the window unit were somewhat inaccurate. Recommend tub shower have non-slip mats available."
