My room was clean but pillows on one of the beds were left unmade on the bed without pillowcases. I was not able to watch any network television, could only connect my device with Bluetooth to view or stream something. By the time I arrived in the parking lot late in the evening about 4 inches of snow had fallen, and the parking lot was not plowed. I could not see the raised medians and drove up a curb trying to park my car. Fresh oatmeal or at least fresh toppings would have been appreciated for instant oatmeal in the breakfast area. The brown sugar was nearly solid in the little condiments container.
