Overall Score2.0/ 5
Room had an inoperative shower(pull out shower head would not move), no wifi( had to go out in the hall to get marginal signal) and TV remote did not work(called but told to keep trying, finally went down to desk and someone came and finally replaced it). Two other observations: front desk people were nice but not particularly welcoming. Top bedding undersized for the bed.
