Room was a non smoking room, but had the smell of smoke in it. Beds were outdated and not very comfortable. Booked room for three people, yet only had two towels.

Noisy continuous running toilet. It worked sometimes if you jiggled the nob or took off back lid and released flapper. Several electrical plugs had no electricity to recharge IPhones. Clock did not work. TV remote was sticky! Could hear trucks from Main Street late at night.
