I wasn't happy with a few things. The body wash container in the shower was completely missing. I asked for it to be replaced and some small hand soaps were put on my counter instead. I ordered room service several times, most meals were fine but my beinets had a French fry on the plate. Staff was very friendly.

Staff were very nice and understanding. For the cost of a night the building needed updating. Poor cleaning practices. I had to change my room due to unfortunate circumstances and the couches were dirty in every room. My "upgraded" room was smaller than my original room and didnt have a microwave. If i didnt have plans, i would not have wanted to stay in the room all day. No shuttle to/from the airport, the shuttle onlys transports within a 2 mile radius. Again the staff was great.
