Room was clean, spacious, towels are the oldest I have seen in a hotel, very worn, scratchy, not soft. Door at entrance stuck in alarm system. Mattresses were not too comfortable probably older, not firm. Some of your staff are parking on the handicapped parking instead of in the rear and other guests also without handicap tags, we had to ask one of your receptionist to move her car so we could park
