Clair

Simply listing facts: The lobby was surprisingly nice. Both evening staff and morning staff were semi-asleep at the desk. Both were respectful. The room (117) door weatherstripping was mostly missing. Allowing air & outside noise easily thru. Huge stain on the chair. Bathroom door would not latch. The tub/shower was wornout. Looks like it may have been painted previously. Ample supply of tp! Walls did not stop hearing the man snoring in the adjacent room. Ceiling did not stop hearing footsteps above. Beds were hard. No boxspring. With the exception of the stain on the chair, the room & linens appeared to be clean, just in poor shape. The continental breakfast was sparse. All-in-all I got what I paid for.
Continental breakfast. There were two dry cereal dispensers too the left, a beverage cooler and waffle maker to the right.
Hard mattress. No box spring.
