"Breakfast was fresh but more attention needs to be paid to full trash cans. Parking felt safe and conveniently shaded. Room smelt musty upon arrival but running air conditioner for a few hours helped (or we got used to it). No bathroom exhaust was annoying as mirror fogs quickly. Shower curtain did not keep in all the water as evidenced by wet floors and detaching floor moldings."
