Shower was definitely the worse thing about the room. It was alright but I suggest just paying the extra 20 or so bucks and you can get a much nicer room close by

The representative gave me a key to a room where the door lock was splintered like it had been 'jimmied'. The window to the outside (on the 1st floor)was majorly cracked. I insisted on a new room where the lock was not working. In the room the TV only gets 1 channel
