Disliked: Cleanliness
The desk staff were VERY KIND AND HELPFUL. The walls are thin, and the neighbors were loud. The room was basic, and mostly clean, but I did have to pluck some hair and other stuff out of the bed before I climbed in, and the bedspread appeared as if someone had been sitting on it before I arrived, and that was not very welcoming. Also: a hairdryer in the room would be great. I did enjoy the morning coffee and a pear.
