Unfortunately there were several problems with the room (some of which were evident when I checked in and others only once I was in the room, too late to move). I was given a room with a large and unworking hot-tub in the bedroom (with a big note on it that it did not work and that the hotel was going to take it out). The hotel did not appear full so I'm not sure why they would use the room. The lights in the bathroom did not work and there was no shampoo in the shower (bottle on the wall empty). The bed was clean and comfortable.

Room was dirty. Bathroom was dirty. Tub had brown grime in it. 6 year old son took off shoes for the night and stepped on something sharp on the carpet and it got stuck in his foot. It appeared to be some kind of thorn that was left behind by another guest and was not cleaned. 10 or more men drinking in the parking lot near our car. Did not feel safe here.
