decent roomshower drainingdusty mirrors

the room seemed decent and the staff was friendly enough.

my three-night stay wasn't the best. the shower barely drained in either of the rooms i occupied (yes, i had to switch rooms). plus, i found the cleanliness lacking, with dusty mirrors. the tv remote felt grimy (i wonder when was the last time it was disinfected).
