Breakfast was nice- fruit! Elevator was bright - pleasant. Desk attendant was very pleasant & responsive & gave us a new room as toilet clapper & seat was broken, tub with open drain, tub hugely peeling, sink faucet totally loose from sink #416. The next room was missing the sink drain apparatus & the sliding door was hard to move but all the rest was in working order. (There was a sock & pair of underwear on the roof which our room was attached to. The rooms provided hearty laughter there was so absurb.
