Glenn

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was good except for one thing, the toilet seat. It was a crummy one plus it needed to be tightened down so that it would not move. This is the kind of stuff the house keeping staff should be vigilant about. Also, the hotel can be noisy just due to its design. Sound travels very well.
