the room was clean upon arrival, satisfactory.
i found the bathroom door handle was only secured by a single screw on the inside. it was wobbly as a result and looked as though a screw had been taken from the other side to compensate. this is a maintenance issue i expect to be addressed.

The location was good and the rooms were comfortable. I found it a short walk to lots of eateries.
The parking lot was very small. The children's beds were not ready when we arrived, as they weren't made, so we waited for the receptionist to make them up!
