4/10 Poor

Disliked: Amenities
Pros; check-in easy, parking easy, beds fine, clean linens, helpful staff Cons; shower way too low, very dated room, smoking allowed on balconies which chased us into our room (room smelled of smoke), AC behind curtain that couldn't be pushed aside due to bracket, patio door didn't lock, when trying to sleep there was an odd and annoying clicking sound but couldn't find the source, when we were able to sit on the balcony it was a lovely view but extremely noisy because of highway.
