	"We were pleased with the size of the room, but it wasn't as clean as we'd have liked. No fridge. We had an ice bucket, but the ice machine and vending machines didn't work. We only got 2 towels for 4 people, and never got extras despite asking for some. The people in the next room were loud until 2 AM. The hotel staff was friendly enough. Good breakfast, and it was nice to have fresh fruit. Don't have high expectations.2021-09-28 "
"The hotel grounds needed attention. No fridge in the room, and the phone had to be replaced. The carpet looked good. No AC in the lobby, just an industrial fan.2021-09-11 "
