The room was overall clean. My only complaint was the shower backed up with water during the shower and it had some hair in it (not mine). The room had a musty smell - like people had smoked in it (even though it is a non smoking room). The smell could have been coming from the AC. The breakfast was great. Nothing fancy, but I appreciated the variety and the hot options. They kept it well stocked. The staff was very professional.
