Clayton Plaza Hotel & Extended Stay
Did not request any room servicing. Nice variety and friendly breakfast staff. Everything worked well. Comfortable room. Two issues: Limited WINDOW LIGHT So room a little dreary. The outside Entry Door Glass panels were disgustingly dirty. The rest of the hotel was well kempt.
